I was just trying it out with some of the targets with 2 bullseyes on each page at 50 yards. I have used both a 10/22 with Tech-Sights and a Henry H001 with the factory sights, though they were sighted in and filed down to suit me. My groups are all over the place, so it's a good thing I started practicing. Ultimately, this is practice for my M16A4 copy, and the 10/22 was set up with Tech-Sights with the idea to mimic the sights on the centerfire rifle.
Anyone know why my groups wander all over, even though I'm not changing the sights? Today my first group with the Henry was about perfect in terms of centering, but the next group was high and left. Both were shot sequentially off my elbows on the shooting table at the local range. Last time, I shot the 10/22 from a rest and it was hitting right, left, and center, depending on which target you looked at. The Henry sights are what they are. Drifting and filing the rear and front sight respectively doesn't lend itself to fine adjustments every session. I'd like to keep this one stock, but if I must, I'm not against adding something like the Williams FP AG Aperture sights. Changing ammo types might be the most effective way to alter/lower the POI. Practice on my part wouldn't hurt either and I have at least 2 more sessions before I'd be confident changing anything other than ammo. The 10/22 sights are adjustable in both front and rear for elevation and the rear adjusts for windage, so no problem there.
