Bought this rifle for my son and decided to test it out tonight using some SK Magazine I had.

5 shot groups at 50 yds, Bushnell 3-9 with a bipod and a small squeeze bag at the rear.

I think it has potential, some groups were encouraging although I obviously wasn't shooting very consistently.

Let me know how yours shoots.

Nice, I’ve been thinking of picking one of these up, they seem to be accurate enough for the price, look great and have 25 round mags. Looks like a solid purchase, they are getting pretty good reviews, enjoy yours
 
I grabbed one from IRUNGUNS before the manufacturer fixed the safety... Grrr. Phil at O'Dell said he is working on getting some in to correct this issue...

My second gripe is the bolt slams shut when you pull the mag out.

And finally, I do not find it is 'accurate'. Fine for range plinking & putting ammo downrange with kids, but a target gun it is not!

Other than those things, I like it & mine has been 100% reliable with all types of ammo.

I did add a Dlask AR15 flash hider & their extended charging handle. Two upgrades I recommend. :rockOn: :ar15:

Cheers
Jay

I don't expect it to be the most precise .22 in the world, I'm just messing around with it to see what it will do. If I can find an ammo it likes enough to consistently shoot around 1/2" at 50 yds then I'll be happy.

The trigger on mine isn't great, it has a lot of take up and no wall to speak of. It just pulls and then goes off, then has another mile of travel.

I tried some Eley benchrest outlaw in it yesterday, that was a bust. I had more success with Blazer when I first took it out, and SK Magazine gave me better results too. I haven't tried anything else yet.

I like the factory charging handle, but I would like to find a Mk12-type muzzle device and a round handguard for it. Maybe a better optic, the reticle in this Bushnell doesn't lend itself to holding for wind or elevation.

If I can ding gopher poppers at 100 I should probably call it good enough.

If you find an ammo it shoots anywhere near 1/2" @ 50, please tell me.

And I'd be happy if it would hit a groundhog at 100 as gophers are quite a bit smaller...

Still, it's one fun gun for plinking.

I own 2 of these and love them. Fun rifle and both mine are accurate, red dot on one and a Bushnell scope on the other. Also found a FB page for those that use FB still....
 
I tried out the rest of my Eley Benchrest, the last of my SK Long Range, and some CCI Standard today.

I had targets at 50, 80, and 100 yds.

The Eley was ho hum at all ranges, I don't think I'll buy any more of that. I was averaging around 3/4" groups of 5, but had a few that were under 1/2". Nothing consistent though.

The SK was no better at 50 or 80, but at 100 I did pull off a couple decent groups, the best being .867. Most were hovering just over an inch.

The CCI was consistently around 1.5" at 100, haven't tried it closer in yet.

I have a new TM-22 with an adjustable stock. What was the problem with the safety?

Mine is the last of ten modified by Dlask with a 12" barrel and strange flash hider.

It has a strange FTF issue that is getting better with use. New from Dlask it would refuse to load the second round. The first round goes off and is ejected but the second stays in the mag. Rack the charging handle and round two goes as does all the rest. Ten or just two rounds in the mag would repeat this FTF.

At first, it was every single mag but with 250 rounds fired it's happening less so hopefully will resolve itself. Did anyone else get the second round not send malfunction?
 
Good shooting for using sk ammo. Definitely want to get my tm22 out now and try some groups. I got tired of bench shooting and have some rws left over. going to see how it does now.
 
My son has been enjoying this rifle a lot, quick update.

I put an illuminated Match Pro on it along with a new Harris bipod and a fake aluminum can. He's 13, what can I say?

We went back and forth between a 3-9 Bushnell Elite 3500 and a Match Pro, he decided he likes this one more. Not sure why, all he does is mag dump anyway.....

We're trying for a poor rimfire version of a Mk 12 type thing. The optic might change yet, but it's what we have for now.

I will get this to shoot 1/2" groups, it's shown promise the couple times I played with it. In the meantime, he uses it to guard the farm and dump mags on steel plates.

I've thought about this, future plans do include figuring out a free-float handguard. I saw the same post about the problem with removing the insert, I believe someone here posted it.
 
Spent a couple hours out on the range today, trying to will my Savage MKII to shoot 1/4" groups with Eley Biathlon.

After giving up on that, I loaded some SK Magazine into the TM22 to see how it would do.

Overcast, foggy, and hovering just above freezing all day. I started shooting at 830 this morning, so when I shot the Derya at 4 pm I honestly wasn't even really into it anymore.

Enough with the excuses though!

This was quick and dirty, fingers were getting cold so I basically just dumped 5 rd groups into the target. I started shooting at the pasties them did a few more groups in the open spaces between.

Some decent, some pretty dismal. But I'm all about transparency, I won't cherry pick and try blowing smoke.

.661
.814
.346
.433
.557
.665
.695
1.371
.378
.394
.280

Group average of .536 with best being .280 and worst being 1.371.

Not going to turn any heads in the br circles, but my goal is to find a reasonably priced consistent standard velocity ammo for run of the mill rifles and pass findings on to whoever may care to read it.

After I turned out this amazing set of groups, my buddy asked if he could have a go and loaded up some RWS Special Match to try in it.

His results:

.554
.501
.601
.51
.453

With a group average of .523 he shot better than me (5 groups vs my 11).

He's a more patient shooter than me, and he was using ammo that should shoot better than the SK.

That being said, I don't think either of us were really taking our time. We were both shooting relatively quickly and wanted to wrap up the day.

All I learned today was that I want to revisit this rifle and try to see if I can get some reasonable consistency out of it. One sub .3 group among bigger doesn't tell me if the rifle is capable of repeatability. I would rather have .4 all day long than the odd hero group.

Again, I'm not a br guy. I have been playing around with groups at 50 this summer mostly because I was trying to find a reasonable ammo for critters.

It's a rabbit hole if you want it to be.
