So I bought my first 10/22 the other day. It was used, had been sitting on the shelf for a year or so but the price was right.
I bought a box of american eagle ammo with it as well as a new HC3R 25 rd mag.
I didnt have time to take the gun down and clean it before going out the next morning to shoot it. Perhaps my first mistake.
Using the AA ammo on either magazine, I had a lot of misfeeds as well as rounds that simply did not fit in the chamber. We shot a bit of clp on the extractor and it certainly helped the issue, but did not entirely correct it.
The AA ammo also fed like complete crap in the HC3R mag.
Luckily a friend had a few hundred rounds of winchester, which fed significantly better, but still had failed ejections every 20 rounds or so.
As for accuracy, it was spot on. Decent groupings at 100yds considering I had never shot it before.
I love iron sights, so Im curious if there are any suggestions for better irons.
On that note, I am also thinking about a red dot like a sparc, is there a rail that most people suggest?
Once home, I tore the gun down and cleaned it properly. Ive pretty much written off the AA ammo, winchester was a reasonable option. What is the consensus on best ammo for the 10/22?
I appreciate any feedback, I friggin love this thing so far, even with a few hiccups.
