Venturing into the world of MOA accurate semi autos.

[Kody]

I love my accurate bolt action 22s but I would like to get at least one MOA accurate semi in 22lr. I used to own a 10-22 and a 512 wmr and that about sums up my experience with semi autos. The rifle will be used for fun target shooting but also hunting. These are some of my criteria:

- looking for “out of the box” MOA accuracy at 50 yards; I am not planning to assemble the rifle out of aftermarket parts...
- 22lr
- would like to stay around 6 to 7 pounds or less, before optics (so I could hunt with it)
- rifle will be scoped so open sights aren’t required

So far I have been able to narrow it down to Volquartsen Lightweight or Superlight series but I am open to any other ideas you might have. If you have experience in the field of MOA accurate semis please chime in. Thanks!

Check out KIDD. You may see something you like at http://ww w.coolguyguns.com/RIFLES_c_10.html

Thanks for the link! I like the 1/2 in at 50 accuracy guarantee that I don't think is available from Volquartsen.

You're very welcome, I bought a Stainless 20 inch Kidd heavy barrel for my Deluxe Sporter 10/22. It is crazy accurate.
If I need another barrel, I know right where to go.

What's the latest on the new Dlask ? It sounds promising

Look down the Rimfire forum column and have a peek at the Ruger VLEH Target Tactical deal at IRunGuns Canada: $515 + tax + shipping.

They have them in stock in the Edmonton area and will be shipping out January 2nd.

For what you want it for, that rifle will do the job quite nicely -- at a FANTASTIC price, too.

That should be accurate right out of the box, another option is the dar22 for $699 or the upcoming tuff22 both are made by dlask arms.

Yes, the Dlask are interesting as well.

But the VLEH is cheaper -- and comes with a stock 4lb-pull target trigger.

One in action at 200 yards: h ttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxENqNnQILE . Another at 300 yds (actually a VLE Talo but closely related): h ttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAkOzr6cDx0 . 400 yds: h ttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jylb-TpPXY . Oh, what the heck, lets go with the VLEH at 500 yds: h ttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31_vucEt61c .

The proof is in the (lead) pudding.

I have looked at their products and searched Cgn...
It appears that many folks are happy with Dlask Dar but I couldn't find a lot of data demonstrating the Dar's capability to achieve 1/2 in at 50 consistently.

Oh, I forgot to mention the VLEH's ability at 50 yds: http://www.rimfirecentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=898634 [Ruger 10/22 Tactical...is that barrel a "tweener"?]. That's out of the box ability but you can throw money at it if you'd like to squeeze a little more accuracy out of it. Long or short range, it's a whole lotta fun!
