Semi .22 capable of .5 MOA?

1" at 50yds is just under 2MOA, not 0.5MOA. That said, a 10/22 with a Dlask barrel should do that with ammo it likes. You could buy one of the Dlask DAR-22 rifles, install trigger parts or tune the trigger, add a decent scope and be done.

Edit - I see I typed too slowly...

I know Thompson Centre R55 Benchmarks are rather accurate. Im willing to bet they could do under an inch at 50 yards no problem.
 
My 10/22 with stock barrel can do 1" at 50 yards shooting off a box of blazer. Must have gotten a good one.

My 10/22 with Dlask 12.5 inch target barrel will do half inch groups consistently shooting CCI Standard Velocity. When everything goes perfect and with the expensive target ammo even smaller.

If your gonna spend the money, and if I had to do it again I'd buy a Dlask Complete Dar22, and spend the rest on a scope. Cheaper than building your own IMHO.

I would look at some of the older Marlins like a Model 60 or 795 for out of the box accuracy in a semi .22lr.
 
I have a hunch my Marlin 795 (tuned trigger) could do it, though I've never even taken it to a range and shot it off a proper bench. I've also never run anything but CCI though it, but have achieved some tiny groups using that over the last couple of years. (50 yards) I pinned one of those targets over my computer at home, I'll take a pic tonight and post it if interested. I bet that if I put a nice Boyd's stock on it and ran a bigger variety of ammo through it as a test, it wouldn't be too tough to do consistently.
 
OK..........½moa is a pretty small group at 100 yards with a rimfire.
I shoot rimfire competitively, and have several very accurate rimfire rifles.
[40X Remington, Annie 54, Suhl 150, Winchester 52, Remington 541 S&T, etc]

Now if we are talking 10 - shot 100 yard groups, I have reservations about some of the claims on here.
If we are talking 5 - shot groups, some reservations still remain.
If these are 3-shot groups, it is a bit easier to accomplish.

To shoot 10-shot, ½ moa groups at 100 consistently, your rifle had better be top of the class, ditto your ammo.
You will probably have a tuner on that rifle as well, and you yourself will be on top of your game.
Additionally, the weather had better be co-operating, because a zephyr of a breeze will take a shot well out of that ½ moa group.

Now if we are talking 50 yards, it is considerably easier to make ½" [not ½moa] groups, and there are a number of rifles capable.
At 50 yards, my best shooting 22 rimfires regularly group in the .125 - .175" area with ammo they like.
If the group is larger than .250", I know it is me or the breeze I didn't see.

1/2" groups at 50 yards should be attainable with a quality barrel on a 10/22 and the right ammo. I find mine often throws the first bullet or two of the day wider than usual, and tightens up after that. Either that or its me. This is with a heavy Green Mountain barrel.
 
My 10/22 used to shoot this easily at 50 with a stock barrel. But since then I've switched to a marauder stock and put a few thousand rounds through it.. Now it shoots 3 inchs at 50 .. But I've got a dlask barrel on the way... 16 inch heavy profile with an extreme chamber... Maybe ill get my groups back... Thinking about maybe taking it out of the kit and bedding it into the stock stock. Then ill get them back for sure
 
Dont understand why people are looking for sub moa semis when clearly bolt guns are more accurate. If its for hunting moa is unnecessary.Target shooting(paper)why not a bolt action?
 
thompson center R55 if you can find one. I just sold my last surplus one. with good ammo all of them I have seen have shot 1/4 groups at 50 yards. I have one that out shoots my annie 64's, and all my cz's. its a keeper. 100 yards is a different game, ammo that shoots well at 50 opens up at 100, and vice a versa. any 22 shooting 1/2 at 100 yards, has seen a lot of wear and tear in just finding the right ammo to do it. Eagleye has pretty much summed up the challenge.
