I have a standard Ruger 10-22 rifle that shoots less than stellar groups. Not even really adequate for squirrel hunting beyond 25 yards.
What can I do to improve the accuracy of this rifle without buying a lot of new parts for it?
I have already tried different brands of ammunition and changing the screw torque without any noticeable improvement.
I am not expecting benchrest accuracy. I need it to be able to hold 1.5-2 inch groups at 50 yards. Currently, it shoots about 1.75 inch groups at 25 yards.
Reliability in feeding has improved dramatically with use. I now have around 300 rounds through the rifle.
I had one of these 30 years ago that shot quite well. This one doesn't even come close.
