accuracy problems

[emsemt911]

well, my dealer sent the gun off to s&W. They changed the bolt and extractor. When my dealer got the gun back, he did some shooting with it and SHOT WORSE before their repairs. It has been sent off once again. This is BULL ****!!!!

So far, I have not been very happy with this Smith and Wesson experience. My 15-22 shoots worse than my son's Cricket Single shot.

I've only had brief experience with two 15-22s, neither mine. But I've got a pair of 80-year-old Springfield single shots (original price, $3), that would shoot the pants off both of them. Admittedly two rifles are a small sample, but my impression is that they are mighty expensive plinkers at best.

Zero handguns at 25 yards, rifle or carbine at 50. Get zero close using some sort of conventional rest. Then shoot offhand or however you plan on shooting the gun for a final zero. Shooting offhand, bullets will usually not strike in the same place as they will when shooting from a rested position.

I've never used a "Lead Sled" and probably wouldn't after looking at one. For a serious rest, something like a Hart Pedestal works very well with Protektor sandbags front and rear.

Well, after two trips to S&W, third Nikon P-rimfire scope, I finally got the gun shooting right. it appears that the first two Nikon scope were faulty from Nikon. I do not like their new lines, so Leopold will be scope of choice.

So all-in-all it wasn't the gun but the crappy scope?

I bought a new 25-22 in Jan 16.
Put a VQ extractor in it, a cheap $130 red dot on it and it puts rounds in a 1 1/2" square at 50 yds consistently.
Very happy with it!
