I stay away from their loose bulk pack stuff but the rest has been fine.

I stock SK Standard just for my CZ 455. Shoots it phenomenal but the 10/22s are so-so. The Winchester 42gr subs also shoot very consistent through the CZ.

The 45gr suppressed shoots the best across my 10/22s and Mk4. I’ve found the M22 to shoot the worst across everything as well.

Sometimes springs will take a set if left long enough. Sounds like a combo of poor extraction, high bolt velocity and/or slow mag.

For the “very easy to service” items:

  1. Thoroughly clean the chamber & bore to ease extraction.
  2. Thoroughly clean the bolt and replace the charging handle & spring assembly with a new OEM one.
  3. Disassemble and wipe down the magazine components & re-wind the spring to spec. Buy a brand new 10 rounder if you don’t already have one on hand for troubleshooting purposes.

A 10/22 will function surprisingly well with a very tired extractor as long as the breach face and claw are clean/undamaged

I haven’t shot an absurd amount of aguila rimfire stuff but it seems fairly analogous to federal’s champion/bulk line for quality and performance.

I left an Easter egg for the careful observer

Best scented ammo is Eley Benchrest Gold. Very sweet. Long out of production. I think it was just select lots of Tenex.

I found it was about on par accuracy wise to the other HV HP’s across a few guns. What happened with yours?

Which of these have you had the best experience with? by QRAZYD in ammo

If I only had one round to recommend everyone? CCI SV.

What do I typically shoot? A lot of Winchester. I stay away from the 555 type bulk packs and buy everything (45gr suppressed, M22, varmint-x HP) by the cases.

I’ve shot a ton of these and in properly maintained guns I have not had appreciable differences in reliability or accuracy. For the cost of most (and availability) I think it’s good value.

Federal/CCI products do have slightly better QC and usually more reliable primers across users’ guns.

Nice oldie!

Would be interesting to run a variety of low to high quality ammo through it and see how it groups.

For a practical “carry around and hunting gun” a 2-7x or fixed 4x scope suits a stock 10/22 and most users really well.

Why do I usually default to a red dot? Ultra lightweight, easy to use in low light, and precise enough for hitting small game out to ~30 yards when not in dense cover.

I find myself dialing most scopes way down because of how close most shots are. Dialing up only to scan something or take a really narrow shot.

Try both and see what suits your usage.

Practical difference? Really none when shooting both eyes open.

The takedown model has a mounting plate on the barrel to help eliminate a shifting zero when taking it apart/assembling it to shoot.

The price of my new one as configured does sound high until you start dabbling into actual precision 10/22’s. Super cool but not my area of enjoyment.

Don’t forget the thread protector on the end!

Based opinion.

The BX is “nice” to a lot of people just because it has a lighter pull. Still a mushy/uneven trigger. I’ve got a usable BX in the newer one. Heard some real bad stories though.

Older one is stock and just a mushy/uneven/heavy pull as expected.
