I finally got it out to the range this afternoon, and it's a shooter, even by 9422 standards. My 1978 vintage 9422 XTR and my 2000 vintage 9422 Trapper will both shoot decent 50 yard groups of about an inch and will both manage 3" groups at 100 yards with tang sights (and not really any better with a scope).





However, this 9422 Legacy with a 2-7x33 Leupold shot very well with CCI SV, and then shot even better with SK Std Plus with large ragged one hole 5 shot groups at 50 yards:



I wasn't able to set up a 100 yard target due to a sea of mud from the grass just past 50 yards out to my 200 yard plates, however I did bring the elevation up 20 MOA for the 200 yard plates and found it would easily hold a 6" plate. It was dead calm today and the resulting groups with CCI SV were about 2" wide and 4" high with some vertical stringing, due to the velocity variation in the CCI SV. (I chrono'd it and it averaged 1053 fps in the 22.5" barrel, and varied from a low of 1029 to a high of 1070.)
