DAR-22TX accuracy potential?

[surfclod]

Build a couple of 10/22 builds in the past but they were more for fun plinking action than accuracy.

A friend of mine had a DLASK threaded barrel 10/22 (might have been a precursor to, or an early DAR-22TX), he claimed exceptional accuracy but I never had a chance to try it out.

Just curious what sort of accuracy a person could reasonably expect from your DAR-22TX units? Of course assuming target grade ammo is used, top grade optics and trigger group assembly.

I had been considering getting a Anshutz (or Kimber, etc) bolt gun but, for the same $1000-2000 budgeted, I might be able to build a 10/22 that is 80-90% as accurate but semi-auto to boot.

My last accurate rimfire was a Kimber Classic which was consistently in the 3/8-1/2" at 50 meters, (with 1/4" groups not uncommon). Tighter groups would be better (some may demand better) but that is my personal threshold between a precision rimfire and a plinker.


Just wondering what is potentially attainable with the threaded 10/22.

I am shooting my DAR 22 out to 220m with bulk ammo and around a 5 inch impact area.

Ultimately, our DAR-22TX is as accurate as a semi-auto can possibly be. But, it's still a semi-auto. Because you are relying on the bolt to cycle under it's own inertia to feed and extract the cartridges you just cannot ever have enough force to make the chamber as tight as on a bolt action rifle. In .22 caliber guns the chamber IS accuracy. The tighter the better. Our TX version of the DAR come with a customer chosen chamber. If you want a plinker we will chamber it for 'Sporter'. If you want a bench gun we will give you the 'Target' which may not feed some types of ammo reliably but for the average target shooter this is not as important as accuracy.

I guess in the end the best thing you could do is call us to discuss what is best for your particular needs. These are full custom guns so every detail of it should be what's best for you.
