Rich, it sounds like a good pattern size for grouses. AKA grice.

I took it to the range. Before the "repair" it would regularly fire five Yellow Jackets into 5/8". After the "repair" it will fire five Yellow Jackets into a patter of 5".
By the way, Kp321, this rifle had a modified extractor that extracted unfired rounds and just wore out. If you new what was wrong(extractor),why didn't you fix it yourself?A 10 minute job at the most.I think the only way to get 5 yellow jackets in a 5/8" group at 50 yards would be to shoot 50 and pick out the best 5.

Recently my 10/22 would not fire every time so I took it all apart and cleaned everything and lubed it. It still wouldn't fired every time and I could not eject an unfired cartridge. What is wrong with some gunsmiths. Yesterday I took it to a 'smith. I asked him to replace the firing pin spring with a new one and replace the hook that pulls the unfired cartridge from the chamber. I didn't think I needed to tell him it has a custom match chamber. He called me today and told me it was ready. When I picked it up he told me the chamber was too tight so he reamed it out ! Say what? ! I told him I have fired hundreds if not thousands of rounds with it set up the way it was. He told me it was not right so he fixed it. I asked if he installed the new hook and spring. He told me they were fine and charged me $50. Pleased it happened to you because stupid should bloody well hurt. Twit.

The little hook that pulls the unfired cartridge would not pull the unfired cartridge out of the chamber. It also would not fire most of the time. There was no problem with the chamber since I fired several bricks through the rifle prior to the recent problem? Why would a 'smith cut the chamber with the requests of put a new hook in and new striker spring in? hundreds if not thousands So, which is it you miserable lying turd. Several bricks...or thousands. Warning...everything the ring-clown says is suspect.

You're showing your prejudice. This rifle has a barrel weight. I used the idea if two Yellow Jackets are not close together three won't be. With each two shot "group" I dialed the barrel weight about a 32 of an inch until it was a consistent 5/8" at fifty yards. Since the chamber is so sloppy I can't get any consistency. I think I will buy another barrel and start over.

Oh, you've got consistency alright.
It would appear you consistently screw up every firearm you dink around with.

The rechamber job may have introduced some headspace as well. Of course the 10/22 is a different beast, but I fought poor groups with a 77/22 until I found a thread on shimming the bolt to eliminate headspace. A 0.007 shim in the bolt turned it into 1 moa rifle. Had that not worked, it would have been off for a new barrel.

By the way, Kp321, this rifle had a modified extractor that extracted unfired rounds and just wore out. I'm going to have to call complete, and utter bs. 1) Ain't no way yellow jackets are going to group 5/8" at 50 yds. 2)Ain't no way you ran bricks of yellow jackets through a match chamber with no problems, and now have failures to fire and extract. Because, there's no way you can get through 100 rds of yellow jackets without a failure to fire. 3) Ain't no way after a slightly cleanup in the chamber a match 22 barrel is going to shoot 5". I did have a green mountain match barrel for my 10/22 that was very fickle about feeding and ejecting and the accuracy was only slightly better than the factory barrel. Sent it back to Brownells, got a Clark match barrel and now it'll feed and extract anything I feed it, and 10 shot 50 yd groups are a bit over 1" for bulk fodder and 1/2" for preferred match fodder.
