  I have two custom built 10/22s that I shot 3 position 50 yard with I made it back to worlds 6 years in a row with them never placing out of the top ten every year and I won my scholarships those guns they are the reason I was able to afford to go to college

  They can be, <i>if</i> you find the right ammo and do a little trick called &quot;torque tuning&quot; on the action/takedown screw. That screw is the biggest Achilles Heel of the 10/22, because there&apos;s only ONE without a second one in the rear of the action! It creates a pivot point that alters your barrel harmonics/accuracy. They make kits to drill and tap a rear action screw, but that can be tricky too. Instead... take that Wheeler fat wrench and try shooting groups @ 10,20 and 30 inch pounds on that screw and you&apos;ll be <i>surprised</i> at your differences in group sizes! Then try going back again and split the difference which torque direction it shot better, either 15 or 25 inch pounds and shoot groups again.👍

  Your problem is likely the action sliding around in the chassis. KRG makes an excellent product, but the 1022 either needs some extra hacks to lock it down, or a softer stock material to dig into.

  The wind is moving the target some

  I think the bullets are nice and warm in the house and when you shoot them out into the cold air, they start shivering travelling with that terrible wind chill down to the target.

  would have been neat to see how it shot before the mods to measure against baseline. a lot more time, $, effort though I get it.

  My 22lr competiting started with a rigger 10/22. I had over 1,000 into that rifle only thing left that was rugger was the receiver. Everything was Kidds inovation. I held my own comps believe or not (i didnt know a whole lot about nrl22 but i hought an nrl 22 target setup etc). After about 2 comps shooting eley i ditch the rugger and bought a rimx. In my opinion a semi out rimfire will never be able to keep up with most decent factory bolt action 22lr rifle. 10/22s have their place but it&apos;s not in comps with 1inch targets at 100 yards etc.

  Have the Titan stock. Zero wobble. Also has the anchor kit on the reqr for two screws instead of one. Twice the torque. Also with a Green Mountain barrel. Hits the 10, 🎯.
