Bought one new this past week cause it was a deal I couldn't pass up. Cleaned it and threw a Weaver CKT15 scope on it. Got it out to the range today, weather HOT with a 10-15mph wind at my back. Shot 5 shot groups with Winchester 20gr at 50 and 100. Interestingly there was very little change in POA. Shot the 10" steel plate at 230 yards with only about 12" hold over. Problem is best group at 50 was over an inch and at 100 almost 3", ANY of my .22lr's could beat that. When I pulled the action from the plastic stock to adjust the trigger I did notice there is no good mechanical lock up with the action. The rear screw goes through a hole in the stock then engages the action over an inch away with no other support. The front action screw goes through a hole and engages a dovetailed piller but the piller doesn't bottom out in the stock. I suspect with either epoxied pillers or a different stock it might be a shooter. Being disappointed and knowing what it will take to make shoot (having done the plastic stock modifications on an Axis in the past with good success), I think I'll just move this one along.
Next I may try some CCI ammo and see if that helps ...
