Rimfire Accuracy Question Two

[9mmepiphany]

That is one sharp looking rifle

Thank you

The 1712 was my gift to myself when I retired...had been lusting after one since I was 18

IF "out of the box" accuracy is important to you, then it's hard to beat an Anschutz.

Here's one of mine,

My best group with a scoped TOZ 78-01 with Blazer 22 lr @ 50 yds was 5/8" c to c, cheap gun cheap ammo.

One question. It seems like most target 22’s are bolt actions, is it possible to have a match chamber in an autoloader?

With my EXTREMELY limited knowledge, the only "special" chamber I know of for an autoloader is a Bentz chamber. With all of the moving parts for an autoloader, I think it's darn near impossible to compete with a bolt action.

Rem. 742 is a semi auto CF rifle, so you must have some other model IF it's a pump and/or RF.

DOH! My apologies. It is indeed an old 572 slide action. The only 742 I have ever had was long ago in 6mm Remington. I didn't keep it very long.

In bullseye competition you may be correct. However, in silhouettes, there is a little room for error and still score. There are a few guys that shoot Ruger 1022's at our matches. They are not master class shooters, though.
Also, I do know of a fellow that shoots master class handgun bullseye competition with an autoloader and does quite well at it, too. IIRC, he shoots a Hammerli 215.
