    tazman I will do some testing for you using my A22 Savage if you are looking for a semi auto. As I mentioned earlier mine is the low end version. They make a competition version that sells for under a grand. If it must be a semi auto, and shoot 1" groups at 50 yards I got to think the Savage might be the answer. The old Marlin Model 60 was the other rifle that you might look at, used of course. Everything I have read about the rifle has been good. No personal experience with the gun.

    From what you described you are not and will not get there with the 10/22 without spending a lot and then likely will not get there with the Ruger you have. I fellow I shoot with who can shoot, had the target version of your gun. It shot 10 inch groups at 25 yards on his best attempts, with a mounted scope! He never did get it to shoot. He refused to sell it used to anyone. I had my Shur Shot (Model 60 Cooy) .22lr out the day he called it quits with the gun. My $22 circa 1955 shot 1" groups or less at 25 yards without a rest using a cheap scope. That did it for his Ruger.

    I will get back to you on my tests.

    Nope. Not unreasonable in the slightest. My pre-warning Deluxe Sporter has no barrel band, is wearing a set of Tech Sights M1 Garand knockoffs with the aperture enlarged slightly, and it delivers about that level of accuracy.

    Again, I'd probably give Ruger the opportunity to make it right. They have always understood that reputation rides on product, and so are very good about it, and I think you have ample evidence to illustrate you have one of the occasional duds. I've seen them completely re-gut a 20+ year old MKI pistol on which the major flaw was that the previous owner/owners had worn it out, and they did it free of charge. Given that they have the jigs, fixtures, gauges, etc... to determine what's what, where the rest of us are just guessing, it's probably your quickest, most reliable means of sorting it out.

    Robertbank-----I would love to see the results from your tests. I don't plan to use the semi auto for competition so the inexpensive version is perfect. I just want one for myself and general use. I already have a competition rifle.

    I will give some thought to a call to Ruger.

    If one can be found, check out a Hammerli SA22 rifle that was sold by Academy a few years back. I had one for a time- very accurate. Weirdly built to resemble an air rifle by Umarex in Mexico. Actually a very neat rifle, though. Full sized, it weighed about 7 lbs unscoped.
