Just wondering if someone has a really significant number of rounds through their 15-22, and how it's running after so many rounds ? Let us know your thoughts, Shoo

250000

25,000 and counting.......oops, typo, my bad, 2500 so far.:p I love my 15-22s. Just got them late last fall. Even re-joined a local club 'cuz they have an indoor range.

BTW, oh sure you come out with the pro shoo wrench 3 weeks after I buy the original one from Brownells.....LOL. Nice piece of work.
Keep up the great work.:)

I was somewhere north of 5,000 rounds before the weather turned. Joys of the midwest I guess. Hoping to be over 10k by end of next summer.

I have somewhere between 25-30k thru mine. Shoots fine. There are some scores inside the upper receiver and I've noticed the bolt getting significantly more dirty past the bolt face.
 
I'm only up to 2944 through mine, but that's since October, and includes 3 weeks that it was at Smith & Wesson. 1325 rounds since Dec 11 when it came back from S&W and no failures since then.

I stopped keepin up with it at 27,000 but id say around 35,000..I have a first gen gun and have allways shot coated ammo and have had zero problems...(after the spring kit went in)

Great gun and has paid for itself 100 times over

That's awesome BELT_FED ! When you say coated ammo, are you refering to copper-washed ammo like Federal bulk ??? Shoo
 
lets see had it just over a year...and i shoot at least once a week (i live in the sticks so just walk on the back porch), sometimes more on holidays and weekends so i would say 10K+....
 
30k with no issues. Used to shoot Fed Bulk and Aguila MR but last 10k have all been Blazers. It is dirtier than the other ammo but very consistent.
 
Im not that high in count, maybe 3-4k but its a first gen gun, all i shoot out of it is federal bulk, it doesnt complain at all about it.
 
Well I can't really count as fast as the gun will shoot, but I'd have to say I'm somewhere over 8K on a DTX with JP springs and it's workin' just fine. It seemed to find its stride after the first couple thousand rounds. Shooting Fed 550 bulk, Blazers, Mini-Mags..
 
Just over 4300 in the one month I've owned mine. Lots of range days obviously. Mostly American Eagle and some Federal bulk.
 
I just passed 11,000. That would be about 10,962 after the rifle came back from S&W.

No trouble but the occasional bad round. Other than that no problems at all.

I usually shoot Federal bulk but I get extravagant now and then and shoot CCI MiniMags. If others on this forum would stop digging up great deals on MiniMags, I'd just shoot Federal bulk.

Wow, great reports so far. Looks like for the most part that like fine wine, these 15-22's get better with more rounds through them. Thanks for the reports guys, Shoo
