Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Rimfires 10/22 to build or to buy?

Ok, new day and some bedding under that receiver!!!!


This is what I call a 6 minute bedding job on a 10/22. I have done the same thing to my Magpul stocked Ruger 10/22 rifle:


This adds support under a void, that you can sometimes have on these rifles. This new rifle was horrible. By doing this, it allows you to tighten the action screw any way you like and it will not have an effect on the rifles accuracy. One test I always do is after shooting for a little while, loosen the action screw, then re-tighten the screw and see if you get a shift in POI. When done right, you will have no shift at all.

Anyway, todays shooting goes like this:
Note: read notes on the targets. You'll see a huge POI shift after bedding. Now the rifle is laying in the stock stress free. Before, it was being stressed. Obvious from the shift in POI:

Started off with the RWS Semi Auto, since that is where I left off the day before:


Strange how the first 2 groups look damn near identical^^^


Cheap Federal Automatch:



Only 1 scope adjustment I made today:

Fairly "zeroed", so I left it there for the rest of the day.




Now for the fun:



Better groups to come on the next post........
