I was afraid the issues I was having was ammo as well (Federal Auto match). I switched to CCI min-mag but had the same issue. Sent the rifle back to S&W. The invoice (n/c) said they repaired the ejector. Back out to the range a couple days ago. Couple hundred rounds later only 1 FTE and that was...

Ghostmutt, Are you kidding lol, offhand I'd be lucky to hit inside the "big circle" or maybe even the paper at all, that was with a bi-pod. My biggest problem is my eyesight. I have glasses for everyday use and for the computer. I think I'll look into a pair for shooting.

Let me first say, I probably don't understand the use of a bore sight. The range I go to offers free bore sighting and did watch as they bore sighted my Marlon 22 to get me on the paper @50 yards, it worked and I adjusted my scope from there. With my 15-22, I used the iron sights @25 yards, got...

Back from the range, WOW, Smith & Wesson got it right. Near flawless. I ran 100 rounds of CCI Mini-mags & 100 rounds of Federal automatch with only 1 FTE, interestingly enough, the solo FTE was with the CCI. Prior to repair it was pretty frustrating to get FTE's to the tune of probably every 4...

OK, just a quick note. Packing up for the range, just got my 15-22 back from S&W last night. Not bad turn around time: shipped 4/29, S&W received 5/4, repaired and shipped back on 5/11, I got it back 5/13. So S&W had it 7 days, not bad! Now off to the range to see if it's fixed!

S&W has mine now - looking forward to the improvement I keep hearing about. Can anyone report, do they tell you what they to do?

Jim1392, I think you have missed my point. I completely agree I should have called and am trying to encourage others to call vs the web site, but they do have a web site that suggests a 3-4 days response time. I didn't say I was "miffed" about the service, I'm still in the process of...

Quick update: I checked FED EX tracking - S&W received my 15-22 Wednesday 5/4/16 Elapsed time so far: Contact to response from S&W (return label): 8 days Fed Ex shipping time: 5 days Side note: a little sad to see that so many people have had to send their 15-22 back, that it has created...

A couple weeks ago I reported on my second, very disappointing range trip with my 15-22. FTE, FTE, FTE........ I posted here that I had used the S&W web site to request repair and received a "Level 1" response 2-3 days later with questions to complete that were basically the same I sent them...

I really want to like this gun. Went to the range yesterday, what a disaster. Somewhere around 16 FTEs out of 4 25rd mags. Completely unacceptable:mad:. (CCI mini mags and Federal Auto Match) Also ran about 100 rds of the same ammo through my Ruger SR22 pistol with zero issues so I can't blame...

You're right, extremely easy on the fingers. I've got enough material in the shop, I could probably knock out another 20-30 of them at least and getting more would not be an issue. I recently bought one on line for a SR22 pistol. I ordered the wrong one and it didn't fit right. I couldn't...

I was already tired of sore fingers. I'm a bit cheap and wanted to save my budget for more cool gun stuff, so I decided to get a little creative. Yea I know you can get a variety of loaders, but even the cheapest one are near $20. Looked around in the shop, found some old plastic pieces (from...

I absolutely love the SR22. I bought it because my daughter was beginning to show interest in shooting. My first trip to the range with it, she went with me, she put 485 rounds through it. (I got 1 mag worth and went the next day alone to get to fire it much). In all those rounds, we had 2 FTE...

Just switched the range I got to, the first one was $22/hr (half price 2pm-5pm) and they put you "on the clock". The new one I go to is $11 and I never had a problem with time, but I did buy an annual membership, $100 for a year, the old one was like $250 for a year. I typically go once per week...

I am rolling! What a great formula! I may have to modify it a little to include my tools, I'm quite sure she'll through that in. Based on her shoe collection, I'm ordering at least 6 more mags.
