Few questions on this little rifle since I picked up one today.. What kind of accuracy do they normally achieve? Anyone scope theirs or just stay with iron sights? I get that its not a custom target 10/22, just wondering what are the normal results that most folks are getting..
Does it eat most anything or have you found something that works better or worse than the rest...?
I really hate to do what I am about to do, because it will be very painful for you.

I bought one for my son last Christmas. It seemed pretty accurate with the iron sites. I put an el-chepo red dot site from Walmart on it and my son has a blast shooting the plate racks and water bottles.
We started with a couple hundred rounds of CCI Mimi-mags and then moved into Remington Golden's. So far, it's done well with both without any issues.
Thanks,
Rich

No issues with mine. Also shot a buddies with a can, the polymer makes the action quieter than a 10/22 suppressed. While not target rifle accurate 1" at 50yds was no problem. Out of the "sorta" AR based 22's I like it the best. Have fun.

We shoot ours with the "iron" sights just fine. I don't think we've missed an iron plate at 50 yards yet.
I've been meaning to ask:
Do they make a 5 round mag for these?

Why would you want a 5 rounder?

Don't want the kid having a ton of rounds when she's just learning...
Either that or I buy a single shot or bolt action. I'm thinking a 2 or 5 round mag would be cheaper if I could find one

We have two rifles and the pistol. On one of the rifles I have a Trijicon 3x30 Acog and on the other a Bushnell 2x32 Trophy Red Dot. At 50 yards I can shoot the 1/2 inch black dot cover patches with no issues.
I have ran CCI mini mag, CCI, Federal Match, Federal Tactical, RWS and, I am sure the cheap Walmart stuff also.
After 500 or so rounds when it is dirty it will Fail to Feed every once in a while but for the most part mine have no issues. Especially, when clean. Cannot remember any real issues and mine get shoot a lot.
Really really like these guns!!!
