I shot two 22 cal. stock out the box that delivered sub half inch groups that were knocking at the door of 1/4" at 25 yards. Benched with a 3X9X40-AO utg True hunter 90 dollar scope.
No barrel droop, scope is 1/16th off the barrel at the objective lens, mounted at the factory dove tail with a cheep (very cheep ) pair of 1" med. height rings.
So like what ? 3/4" at 50 yards, not to shabby I say.
