My first .22 rimfire rifle - I am using a CMMG barrel in an AR-15 style upper. I have the actual CMMG .22 barrel - not the subcaliber insert that you can use with your .223 barrel.
I am getting rather crap accuracy with multiple different brand-name cartridges. The best I can do (bench rest, scope) is about 2.5 inches at 50 yds for 5-shot groups.
Is this the best I can expect? Is this (short of an expensive competition rifle) what the .22 is capable of? Has anyone else here used a CMMG .22 barrel & gotten better results? I'm just a touch frustrated.
I was planning to use this for multi-gun matches (many where I live can only use non-rifle calibers) and for teaching my girls how to shoot - if I need to just buy a Ruger 10/22 or something, fine, I'll do that, but I was hoping for a little better accuracy....
Any help or suggestions are appreciated.
