Problem with new CZ Thumbhole .22

[LouF]

Using SK Standard ammo . I fire ten shots and am only getting one pea sized hole in the bullseye. How in the heck do they do it to get an off the shelf rifle so accurate !

I know, it is beyond all human reason. Thank God!!!

Obviously black magic. Contact your local MP and maybe they can open an investigation into the witchcraft going on.

I have sold, and fired many CZ's over the past 60 years. They ALL shot!

it's obviously a factory defect. seriously though, get as much of that particular lot # ammo as you can. different lot # ammo can be significantly different because of the priming compound and powder is not perfectly uniform from one lot to another. not saying you won't be getting those fantastic groups with any lot of Standard plus ammo but sometimes small differences can make your rifle hiccup a bit. CZ rifles and handguns are at the top of the hill for mass produced affordable firearms, the only other brand I can add to that category is Sako/Tikka.

what is the yardage

 

[LouF]

My local indoor range only goes to 25 yards but I will be taking it to my outside range to go 50 and 100 yds.

Yeah...25y indoor doesn't mean anything. Group size on 22's roughly triples for every time you double the distance.

Update..Another shooter and myself were cutting playing cards in half at 25 yards to-day with this CZ. The edge of a playing card is small target my friend. My Yo-Dave spring install and trigger adjustment for pre-travel and over travel make the factory trigger pretty darn good !

here's a challenge that is/was popular over on a different forum. somebody made up a target which had life size housefly targets printed on a sheet of paper and placed at 50 yards distance. a hit on a wing or leg was considered a miss, but even a slight graze on the body or head was classified as a hit. google "22 lr flyswatter challenge". download a target, print it off and have fun.

This is my favorite target to shoot for 25 yards. Was originally posted in a different forum as a savage rifle challenge.

It’s surprisingly difficult to clear the entire target.

Ultra tight groups at 25yards is fairly easy off a bench. But precisely shooting one shot into each circle the size of a 22 bullet seems much more challenging.

Most my 25 yards with shooting is done either on one of these targets or standing unsupported.
