First trip to the range...
Took the new 15-22 to the range today. Put 160 rds. of American Eagle 38gr. hollow points through it. It performed very well. Had one fte but it was a round that had dropped on the ground and might've been a little wet or dirty when I loaded it.
Other than that, no problems and tons of fun. So far, I'm happy. I was pleased with its accuracy -- the occasional stray shot was no doubt due to the fact that it was 30 degrees outside, breezy, I was in the shade and my hands were freaking freezing. Can't wait until it warms up a little.

we actually got into the 40's yesterday and today. I fired my 300C up and let it idle for a while. I was happy the battery was still charged up! Even when these cars are off they are still sucking down juice
Maybe the snow will melt enough tomorrow to go for a spin!

PS Nice car!

I went to the range today and was not disappointed. I went preparing for something to go wrong and thankfully nothing bad happened. Every magazine had at least one FTFeed. One whole mag was Federal Champion, with one FTF, and the rest was Winchester 555 bulk. The bullet was almost dislodged out of the case, about a 45 degree angle. So out of about 175 rounds, no more than 7 failed to chamber. I did look to see if the bolt closed all the way after every shot.
One thing that did worry me a little bit is three seperate times, the trigger was pulled once and two rounds went off. Im wondering if I should call S&W, I dont want to but I also dont want that happening.

This is being reported here more and more lately. Yours is a brand new rifle, right?

First day at the range
Went to the range with my new 15/22 today. What a joy to shoot!!!! I put about 400 rounds of Federal Value Pack bulk ammo through it and had two issues of failure to feed out of the magazine. Both times it was the last two shells in the magazine. I only have the one magazine, I'm here in California and can't find any ten round magazines for sale anywhere.
After a minor sight adjustment with the factory sights the accuracy was very good.
Count me as a very happy new owner of a 15/22!!

There has been 4 reports here of 15-22 multiple shot bursts in just the last couple days. This hasn't been reported as a chronic problem before now. I would send the rifle back to S&W.

Thanks!! much appreciated!!!
Also, when i first got my 15-22, it did the multi fire a couple of times, before sending it back for the jamming, etc issues, since its return months ago, it hasnt done it since i got it back.
