I have a couple questions for you .22 Guru’s out there.
I have a Norinco EM322 bolt-action that I’d like to get a little more accuracy out of and was hoping some of you would have a few suggestions or comments. It’s a nice little rifle with three 5 round clips two of which fit in slots on the Monte Carlo stock. I’ve taken a Dremmel tool to the stock and relieved a “palm print?†so that it shoulders a little better and have also refinished the stock. I’ve also mounted an old Weaver 4X on it.
Right now it’s shooting about ¾†groups at 50 yards with its favorite ammo (Remington Yellow Jackets). I shot around 8-10 different kinds of ammo through it and it seems to like them the best. However, none of the ammo I shot was target/match ammo.
My questions are these. What else can I try to make this gun more accurate? I’m considering glass bedding it (more for practice than anything else), possibly recrowning the barrel, and trying some target/match ammo. Are there any other suggestions or am I expecting too much out of a $150 gun?
