    For 22rf <1 moa at 100yds. Consistantly, not once in a blue moon. Used to be recognised as the holy grail for 22 rf.

    Many 22s can shoot great groups at 50 yds ie <1 moa but are poor at 100yds. It doesn't just transpose to the 50yds groups being twice the size at 100yds.

    I have been seriously shooting my 22rf at 100yds for the last year. I am on my third serious 22 rifle (now a Lithgow) and running higher and higher mag scopes, and only now getting consistantly less than moa results. Had a few at 0.5 but generally if I fire one like that the next is 1 moa.

    In the last year I have also lost count of the number of days I have got to the range and the wind is up. I shoot with wind flags but still get caught out. If its too windy I dont even bother and plink silhouettes instead. I try to go to the range once a week.

    I have also spent a fortune trying many many different brands and quality levels of ammo.
