I have a good runner.......

[51reva]

I consider myself a very lucky 15-22 owner. Mine has been near perfect out of the box. I had the usualFTFs until I learned how to loadthe mags. As of today, I have put 1100rds. down the tube. I noticed that the rifle started running very well after about 500rd. My experience with this little black rifle has been near perfect. I have only used Federal Champion bulk and CCI Mini Mag so far. I also clean it religeously, after each use.
I also have a Sig 522 that is a great runner, too. It will shoot most any round fed it. It is heavier than the 15-22, though. I just love to shoot'em both.

My 15-22 has also served me flawlessly. I've used primarily only federal bulk and some champion bulk mixed in here or there. I even tried Remington bulk with success, though I didn't continue to do so as a result of other owners' experiences with it.

I clean it after ever trip to the range, which is usually about ever 300-500 rounds. I hope it can keep this track record going

Well, mine would have taken several months to get to 500 at the rate it was working. I'm glad you're happy and, maybe, I'll be that fortunate when mine comes back from S&W!

I got mine back from smith on Tuesday, put 650rds. of fed bulk through on Wednesday, had 8 fails to load in the first half, second half no problem, and on friday put another 500 through no problem.

It seems to take a few hundred rounds to get settled in.

1300 rounds before OOB, 1150 since

I stoped counting rounds at 2000. I have to be over 3000 by now. 99% are Federal 550 and Federal Champion. It will not fire CCI. !??! I'm cleaning it now after another 300 rounds down range.

I also stoped having problems after 400-500 rounds. I'm guesing it got "broke in". I hope I'm not jinxing myself!

congrads, ive put over 500rds through mine, majority Federal Bulk, but i also shot CCI mini mags, Wincher SuperxRN, and have shot a Mag full of Winchester Wildcats the other day, flawless.

 

[Skidder]

400 CCI's flawless so far

550 rounds of federal bulk - 3 FTF (stood up in the mag).
had a few rem. subsonics that didn't go boom but i assume it is bad ammo as the casing had a nice dent from the firing pin.

not sure why i had the FTFs as i'm careful how i load the mags.

been out shooting two times and both times the damn temperature didn't crack 20 or i'd have more rounds through it. overall, so far so good.
