Suprising accuracy.....22 semi

Picked up this little honey off @Kiwilad2021 today it's a Winchester Cooey 64b.
Got her scoped up and off to the range to try some different breeds of ammo as the seller hadn't really shot this rifle much to tell me what it really liked.
Tried:
Remington gold (bulk stuff)
Federal black box
Cci velociter
Cci subs
Aquila subs

It cycled everything reliably except the dirty old aquila subs.
The trigger appears to have had some work as it definitely wasn't the 6lb plus i was expecting after google homework.
Surprisingly it shot all of the above very accurately.
CCI subs won the day consistently shooting 1 hole 5 shot groups at 50 yards as fast as i could pull the trigger.
I really wasnt expecting much from this rifle after googling the model, all i can say is wow ! Probably the most accurate 22lr I've ever owned and it's got nice timber to boot.
Anyway enough wanking on here's a few pics. Groups were shot prone off bipod at 50 yards, scope is a nikko silver crown fixed 4x jobbie.

Nice score

It cycled cci subs no problem, think the aquila subs are quite a bit slower again

That's pretty impressive for 50 yards, a semi and non-match ammo!!
Whatever you do, don't start modding the rifle :)

@viper and I can leave some rabbits for you to shoot if you feel like a drive south... Bring lots of ammo, a warm jacket and stones green ginger wine for post shoot debrief.

Was actually gonna chop it to 12" surely that won't hurt it ?

The only problem is if you chop the barrel and accuracy goes south, it's pretty hard reattaching it :)
Looks like you've already got a winner.. personally I wouldn't mess with it if it shoots like that consistently.

Need to aquire some more cci subs and print off a sheet of targets to do multiple groups me thinks ;)
I did shoot multiple groups with it today and the group pictured is typical of what it will shoot with cci subs

yip I agree 100%,leave it alone...for at least a year...if yo uhavent onsold it by then you will either be used to it,or 100% sure it needs to be shorter.... funny thing using subs through long barrel is quiet enough the need to fit suppressor is just about moot point.

Nice, I'd go for something like a 14 inch barrel and an over-barrel suppressor (Hardy).

My mate asked me to zero his rusty 10/22 of unknown parentage as he was struggling. I expected a shotgun spread and it made one hole at 50 metres!

I picked up a gunworks suppressor today, was thinking 12"-14" not in a hurry to chop it as it is already threaded, will see if length is an issue as I bought this on a whim didn't need or really want it :yaeh am not durnk: it may only get used on a range :D

Remember those silencers I had when I met you and @Moa Hunter couple of years back?
If you were in no rush I could have a crack at an over barrel type for you

No reason to think a 22 semi will be less accurate than a bolt. It's the trigger that let many down.

That's a nice looking and great shooting rifle. What length barrel does it have now? If you do cut it even a 16 inch barrel would be a lot more useable and should still shoot well. I guess it will be a gamble if you do shorten it.

Yeah I'm conflicted, haven't measured it but it's probably 22" or there abouts so quite long. I think it would be much nicer at 14"-16" but yeah it shoots so darn well I am hesitant to mess with it....
Tested it with the gunworks suppressor and it's seriously quiet, like you hear the bolt cycle and that's it.

It wont be that quiet if you shorten it.

Not really an issue

Accuracy on my CZ actually improved after chopping the barrel. DPT did the work. Depends on what you want it for. For small game stuff, I find long barrels a pain in the arse and confer no benefits. If it doesn't bother you, then leave it be.

Leave it as is, if you really have to do it then 18 inch's .
Let Joe 90 know when your down this way and see if we can organize a meet up. That's a cool little rig .

@dannyb eating vege can make it possible only to get a "semi" not a good solid "pump action"

sorry guys, its a well natured joke, he keeps kidding me about my carnivorous appetite, i keep making fun of him being a dwarf
