Groups from .22lr

fiestaman

lads just woundering what kind of groups are ye getting with .22's. im getting 3/4- 1'' with mine at 70yrds and im not happy,woundering is there somthing up with gun or am i expecting to much. tried all the ammo and eleys are best. took out action and sanded forend of stock to make sure shes floating and in still getting them groups. sometimes 2 bullets trough the 1 hole and then 3 stray to within 1''. im a desent shot so cant put all blame on myself.

It wasn't me!

3/4" would be respectable enough for a .22LR at 70 yards. It's not target rifle accurate, but it's certainly not bad. What's the kit you're using?

fiestaman

ok fair enough. cz 452 with swift 3-9x40.

The trigger the original? A lot of guys have reported dramatically improved groups at all ranges after a replacement trigger kit's been installed.

fiestaman

no,put yodave in it.

Hmm, no ideas so, though the groups don't sound too bad for a .22LR anyway.

Hey Fiestaman
Just wondering if you are using hunting or target ammo?.. It's just that I've had no less than three CZ 452's over the years and they all had one thing in common, they all shot extremely accurately with Winchester Super X subsonic HP and Eley Extra Plus subsonic HP Hunting ammo..

3/4" @ 70 yards is 1 MOA (Minute of Angle), which is in the ballpark of acceptable/expected accuracy for a mass-produced hunting rifle.
You've already floated the barrel and fitted a trigger kit, the next step I'd suggest would be some testing with top quality target ammunition and the use of proper heavy benchrests if you haven't already tried that.
Those 'should' tighten things up a little more, but realistically, a CZ 452 with a 3x9 scope (whilst a superb hunting rig) isn't by any stretch of the imagination a 'benchrest' rifle, and the benchrest aficionados spend an awful lot of money getting to 1/2 MOA.

i agree with you on all counts there

Shot this ten shot group today, using eley subs HP Zero @ 65yrds. no.8 is 3'' , no.9 is 2'', and bull is 1". think i was expecting to much from it. Happy now though:)
