What's a good group at 100 yards with a .22LR ??

tagging along. I have never shot that far with a .22 for accuracy or from a rest. I can get 2 in. groups at 50 yrds with my 10-22, all factory and a crappy scope, and bulk ammo.

I did today for the 1st time. Modified 10/22, cheap ammo from a bench at the range. Shoots ragged bug holes at 50 yards, shoots about 5" groups at 100. There was a little breeze blowing. Not a breeze I was thinking about shooting my .300, but maybe enough to goof up a .22.

With a little better bulk ammo "federal 36 hp's" I see about 3" groups at 100 from most of mine. I start running the crappy stuff I have seen 5-7" groups.

Yeah it's pretty rare that I get 2" or better groups at 100 with bulk ammo. If I buy the cci mini mags they tend to group the best out of mine. Most of the time I just run the federals. I love my 22 mag so much, I don't run a rim fire to often. If I am after diggers then I will run them but for quill pigs and close range yotes I love the 22 mag.

Depends on the gun and the ammo. Oylmpians can shoot a 3/8" target and 55 yards with iron sights. That would be under an inch at 100. I don't have .22LR, just .17HMR (scoped) and I try to keep them all inside a dime. With my 5.56, red dot/no magnification I always aim for an 1" group size. I am guessing wind and correcting for it would cause most of the groups to be larger than what the rifle/ammo would be capable of for the 22LR.

I know a guy who shoots and builds rifles for 22 rimfire Precision match at 50 meters.
His rifles are like 4-7 thousand, he holds a number of records, I hesitate to put his name on site.
BUT
He regularly hits a .125 X inside a .25 inch circle, in good wind I would bet on .5 inch groups at 100.

I have seen a few CZ-452's shoot 1 inch and under out of the box and scoped but they are hard to repeat..generally 2-3 inches is a real good group with .22's that most of us would shoot. I'm not sure what the competition guns can do.

I have a Ruger marksman 10/22. Watching to see what others say. I'm at 1.5" at 50 yards but have not shot 100 with it. Just didn't think about it.

The rifle has a DIY trigger polish/clean up deal. I saw a video on YouTube so I followed along with it. Can't say it made much of a difference. It's got a Hogue overmolded stock, a Tactical Solutions fluted .920 barrel, a Nikon Buckmasters 3-9x40 scope. Nothing too crazy. This was also the 1st shots out of this barrel. Ive had it put together for a while but never shot it till today. Here's the rifle.
Here's my friend, Billzrifle on here, shooting it at Kenmore today.

I can shoot .50 cent sized groups with mine at 100 yards, scoped shooting prone. I have shrunk that down on the bench. Shooting Eley 10x with my Anschutz.
