OT, but gun related: What do you consider good accuracy ...

Post by J Miller »

... from a single action .22 LR revolver? Not a target revolver.

:mrgreen: That's a loaded question..... :lol:

2 inches at 25 yd from a decent rest, if the shooter and gun are any good. Of course with 22 there's always the possibility of some guns just absolutely can't stand a certain brand of ammo....

Minute of bunny head or bushytail head at 25-30 yards. (and all shots into a rattlers head at striking distance :wink: )

I'd love to see 1" groups from a sandbagged rest, but wouldn't keep any 22LR revolver that wouldn't group 2" with ammo it liked.

My Single Six will put a cylinder full in about two inches, a little more or slightly less, from a good rest at 25 yards. I'm just ok with that. With the 22 mag cylinder it'll do half that, and I'm very pleased with that. Especially since it shoots best with the cheap Winchester stuff.

"Accuracy" is putting Round #1 exactly where you want it.

"Repeatable Accuracy" is putting rounds #2-#6 in essentially the same place.

Outside of that, MOAs and etc are really meaningless... ;)

I personally like to see 2" or better groups at 25yds from a rest. Thats what gives me the confidence to hunt small game with my .22s.

I honestly don't think I've ever shot my SingleSix on paper....Unless I'm different from others, shooting from a rest gives me a different POI than if the gun never touches the sandbag/whatever. I tend to sight in on little white rocks or empty shotshells that were already out there. Very unlikely to find me at a formal range. Anyway, my Single Six is a very reliable little white rock killer, so I'll keep it. If I wanted to make a bet on hitting a pop can at 100yds, I'd use the Ruger MKII Govn't Mdl...
