My daughters 64 patterns like a shotgun

I would be looking at the parallax of the scope and the range you are at. If you are too close or too far away from the parallax range you will scatter gun. Set up at the range you are shooting at. Stabilize the rifle and look through the scope. Move your head around while looking and see if the cross hairs move around the target. If they do then the scope is not set to that range and unless you have your head and eye placement the same all the time you wont hit anything consistently.
 
Well, things are improving, step by step. Better ammo = better results. Got some Federal target some CCI standard and a new mag while I was there. First thing I did was to check the crosshairs by coming in and out. That checked out ok. Best group was 2" and hand feeding it I managed a 1.5" group! I do believe that the nose of the bullet grazing the bottom of the chamber is having an effect.

A note on barrel fit: The barrel is not a tight fit into the receiver. I have heard of some folks having to let the bolt fly to get the barrel to pop out. That it's certainly not the case with this one. Once the clamp is removed, little effort is required. It's not sloppy by any means, but I think I might benefit by some bedding.

At least I'm making progress.
 
Bebur & polish the feed ramp. Apply dry graphite lube. If need be add two small washers underneath the magazine Holder to angle the ramp more. Polish as much as u can with a dremel ( ejector, firing pin, bottom of bolt, make sure no indent from dry fire on barrel ) Very LIGHT coat of gun oil on the bolt and make sure to use round nose standard velocity ammo by his will help your groups. ( although I have had some luck with HV ammo as well in one of my 64b Lakfields I had owned. Yellowjackets. )

Keep us posted

Oh a Macarbo spring trigger kit will help as well. $50 shipped to your door!

Here we go. Bottom of the group to the top is 3.1" ( @~50 yards). POA was the top right corner of the black rectangle. The shots in the upper left of the pic were from a previous group.

That honestly is a pretty good group for a generic run of the mill semi auto .22 at 50 meters Sir.
With that rifle and scope I would not think there was an issue if I shot that group personally.
 
Well, today was an even better day. 2 excellent groups. I put 7 rounds within an inch! I know I know, 7 is an odd number (literally). 1st two shots were low (cold bore), there was one misfeed and the rest were on target. It really needs a cleaning now and the new mag needs some work. CCI sv was the winner. Now the quest to find something bulk this thing likes.

Thanks for the help folks and especially to wheeler for the washer tip. Don't know why I didn't see that when I was trying to figure out how to angle the bullet nose up. Now a good clean and polish and I'll be gtg.

I ordered from Macarbo and I thought it was a US company yet it shipped from PEI.
