Adler RF224 + RWS Rifle Match @ 50 Yards – Averaging 3.96 MOA, Normal?

I'm guessing you haven't taken this thing apart.
If you saw how the barrel is held to the reciever, then how the handguard is mounted, and then sloppy asf front barrel nut that tensions it all together.
Everything hitting the sheet of paper at 50 is A-OK for the rf224
I wonder if the Derya TM22 gets the same design? the pro version with 16" handgard also has a front barrel nut? but that model seems to have reasonable group at 50yd. Longer barrel?

Ouch. That's quite the shining endorsement lol

A friend got one. Subpar finish, dubious assembly ####ty mag release.

I get the appeal of the black rifle. This gun however, should be skipped over in favor of a BB gun. Same recoil, bigger mags, full auto mode and roughly the same precision.
 
I know the ammo could be the problem, but I don't think they affect the group size that much, probably less ~.5MOA. for a 12" barrel, I would expect 2.5MOA group.
But I will check the barrel screw and rings, mount and maybe the wind is the culprit. Thanks a lot.
Problem may be that you are feeding premium champagne to a "Lucky Lager" rifle. Basic ammo likely won't make much difference to your groups, but you will be saving some money.

I have read various reviews, 2-5 MOA at 50 yards seems to be the norm (a little better or even a little worse than AI is suggesting). Your rifle seems to be shooting a bit better than the on-line reviews would suggest, a Savage 64 for half the money will usually shoot below 2 MOA at 50 yards. Your rifle is not a CZ or an Anschutz, it is a Turkish lead-spreader:

Actually I feel the opposite way, pretty good in my hand, for now only the trigger and mag release are ####ty, but other than that, the grip, stock, full metal handguard feel pretty damn good.

I will pick a calm day to do another round test.
 
I just cant believe you would feed an ADLER RF22 with RWS RIfle Match,

It's my primary practice ammo in my CZ's and I have excellent results with it.

If I had an adler ( i have plenty of 10/22's) I wud feed it Federal 36gr CPHP but then again, I would be more or less happy with 1.5MOA out of a gun like that.

It's also for my CZ, but would like to know the out-of-box accuracy with this same ammo.

As long as you are happy, we should be too. :)

Glad you got one if the good ones!

Maybe my friend got a monday morning gun.

Now I finally understand what you meant. Right after I took the front barrel nut off, I noticed that the barrel wobbled like a ####. The barrel is only held to the receiver by only one screw and needed the front barrel nut tensions handguard and barrel together.
That's the most awkward design I have ever seen.
You are right about this and the Derya TM22 does have a front barrel spacer between handguard and barrel, but at least not screwed with the barrel together.
 
Finally had time to test it out again in a calm day.
But before that, like what I mentioned in the last post, I had to re-install the barrel because it was loose from the factory.
Short answer, it's not really getting any improvement. Shooting the same ammo: RWS Match still got 3.82 MOA, which was slightly better than last time - 3.96 MOA. But with Federal AutoMatch, it can get 2.94 MOA in average and 1.94 MOA for the best.

I appreciated your detailed and informed original post. And the resulting discussion has been really interesting. I'm just starting shooting my new TM22 but was considering picking up the Adler also... maybe not!
