I'll be having one of these puppies on the way any day now.
Let's see what yours are capable of. According to everything I've seen on YouTube they shoot like a stock 10/22. With the "power bedding" they use I think they should be better than what I've seen.

Over all, are you happy with the RAR?
 
This is the best I could get with federal gold match .22lr @ 25yrds, minimags and cci quiet were big groups. I have some cci standard to try when the snow goes away. I expected better, but I probably don't require better. But the CZ rimfires are looking good.

I don't have any paper but shooting it out of the box I nailed 4 out of 5 gophers and the 1 I missed which was the 4th shot out of 5 was because I was chuckling and could not believe how much accuracy you got for such a low price. I know it's just a bolt but it will cycle any round you put into it (something that can't be said for new rugers) and takes the old 10-22 magazines. What more could you want? I love mine. Only downside is it can be a bit of a pain to mount an optic on.

Gf got one. With winchester 333 1.5-2" groups at 50 yards. Cci mini mag Closer to an inch, cci subsonic hp1", cci blazer same as cci subsonic hp. That is all she has tried. I am not to impressed with it. Should be a lot more accurate in my opinion.
 
It may not be the rifle but the ammunition.
Velocity variations can cause huge discrepancies in accuracy.
While testing CCI MiniMags at 100 yards, when the velocity was consistent accuracy was great.
When a 4 fps variation was recorded the group was 0.49 for 5 shots.
Same box but a different rifle; 9 fps variation for the first three produced a 0.28. The last two had significant velocity drops, hit low and ballooned the group to 1.76.
Even Eley Tenex will not group if the lot has large velocity shifts.
 
Yeeeaaaahhhhh...... sigh. ..... the rifle won't be cimjng after all.

Though, I may just go out and buy one. But not anytime soon. Moving is expensive.
