Mine is still is hiding in the safe. I still have the failure to eject, failure to feed problem. I would like to give Thomas a kick in the arse with all his BS. I have meant to take it to a local smith to take a look at it, just other priorities have taken over. Thing has been sitting in the safe for a long time.

So how many rounds you guys shot with it and how is the accuracy holding up.
 
I use to have all those problems but I've now fixed them all and I can say mine is 99% reliable on 38gr american eagle .22LR. I terms of accuracy I no problems hitting clays at 100 yards.
 
Mine has many k through it. Short of feeding it bad ammo, it's problem free. It likes Butler Creek Steel Lips mags, and Federal #710 and #745 ammo.

The gun is more accurate than I am.
 
Mine shoots great (always has) and accuracy is excellent. After 3000 rounds accuracy is still .5" at 50 yds with Eley Target Rifle. :D Like all .22 semi's you get the occassional ftf, fte, etc. but nothing to cause me concern.

I do love that rifle.:D :D :D :D

With good ammo, mine runs pretty well. Maybe 3 malifunctions folr every 100 rounds. If I try to shoot when it is very cold outside, this number goes up sadly. Steel lips all the way.

Steel lips are the only ones that work for me and the work very well, some days I get 100% reliability. But thats only because TSE replaced the ejector for me. The seating of the magazines is still a dark art that only a wise man can master. Dealing with rhineland arms directly is like talking to an empty room. I would never buy from RA again.
