Here are some helpful hints for breaking in the R22 rifles.
On the rifles, shoot around 100-200 rounds through them then clean the bore out, especialy the muzzle and chamber.This will realy bring your accuracy in. Also the bolt and recoil spring rod will start to smooth out at this point.
On the magazines. These rifles were designed to work best with the Bulter Creek Hotlips magazines. These are the best we have tested but they do need a break in period. Here is how we do it. Load them up with around 10 rounds or so, shoot about 100-200 rounds this way. Then I load them all lthe way up and leave them that way overnight. Next I go shooting again and start with 10 rounds, then 15 rounds then 20 and finially 25 rounds. These magazines will easily last 7000 rounds or more. Just be carefuly with the rear lug.
on ammo, they do not like Winchesters for the most part. They do like Remingtons and the good Federal. Most Subsonics will not work but the Remingtons should and the Agulia SSS will be a hit or miss, most likely you will need to wait for the rifle to break in. For top accuacy try Wolf target, Federal Gold target, or the Eley stuff. We have not tried them all yet.
Also, if you have any loose screws there are supposed to be lock washers on the screws holding th ehandgaud, scope rail in place. And finially, if you have any problems with the ejection, IE cases getting jammed between the cocking handle and receiver, try a bit hotter ammo. If that does not work we can ship you a new ejector. Those are made with a water jet machine and very in dimension a bit.
