Looks to me like 3 holes wide and tall - or thereabouts. It's a pretty small target, for scale, but look at the two holes that are actually full-diameter. The rest are just tears leading into the holes (which were presumably the first two shots). Three shots wide, from outside edge to outside edge, would be about .66". But we don't measure edge to edge when comparing group sizes because different calibers would not compare well. Most of us measure center to center for group size. This is why some rifles are said to shoot groups that are smaller than their caliber. The easy way to get "center -to-center" measurements is to measure edge to edge, and then subtract one bullet diameter. Therefore, .66 minus .22 would leave .44. Look familiar? Am I right, Passport?

My favorite is my Kimber of Oregon in Left Hand . This is one of the most accurate 22 rifles i have owned. This rifle loves the CCI Mini-Mag HP'S . The scope is Leupold 6x42 Target or Tactical with the Mil-Dot Reticule and AO, this scope is great on this rifle . This is one great rifle for Squirrel Hunting . I have one like that, but probably a bit earlier as mine has a straight bolt handle. It's one of my favorites. Of course when my low wall gets back from the gunsmith, I'll have another one to show and tell. Paul

My two favorites are Winchester 69A and Winchester 75 target. The 69A has a Weaver V22 and was my first gun. It's extremely accurate. The 75 target is the gun I shot small bore with and had no trouble beating out the "big guys" more than a few times.

I love 22 rifles. My current favorite is a Ruger 10/22T.
Great stories, good pictures. Keep 'em coming.

I have two Winchester model 52's. One is a bull gun of 1939 vintage. It is heavy as hell, but accurate enough to make you cry. My other 52 is a target barrel of medium weight and 1946 vintage. Unfortunately, it came with no sights, but I got my hands on an old Lyman 422 4X scope to mount onto the barrel blocks. If it is anywhere near as accurate as my bull gun, small game within 100 yards of me will not last long.

Impulse buy that I've never regretted. For .22lr, I get a kick out of my Marlin 39TDS. BRNO ZKM 611 .22 WMR wearing a leupold 3x9 compact in Millett rings. I'd like to find some shorter Warnes or BRNO rings. While great for iron sights, that hogback stock's drop is a little severe for optics. Even with my large melon.

Had a discussion today at the shooting club with an old buddy. He is looking for the most accurate over the counter auto loading .22. The 10/22 got mentioned but the conclusion was that there would be little left of the Ruger after all the needed conversion parts were bought.
What thoughts does everyone have regarding stock over the counter auto loaders or does no one here bother with them? The guy who is inquiring isn't short of money, he just doesn't want to wait months or years to obtain a slew of parts and then have to find a suitable gunsmith to assemble it all.
What kind of accuracy can be expected with such a gun?

For auto loaders I prefer the Remington 552, it's a bit pricey but mine shoots almost anything into .75" at 50 yards. The Remington 597 has a good reputation for accuracy but they have a mediocre rep for reliability.

There is no question about which is my favorite .22. It is an old Marlin Mountie. It is my favorite rifle period. Even though I have some other guns that are "worth" many times more. I find the most enjoyment with my Mountie. It feels like an extension of my arm.
