Interested in accuracy youve achieved and with what ammo....

ive had one for 18 months, absolutely fantastic little rifle... for the price ... the only issue I had was it kept " scratching " the next round when cycling the bolt... a little emery paper on the bottom of the bolt to smooth out the next round " pusher " and it never had a drama since ( it probably has a proper name but I don't know what its called ) .. very accurate out to 100 meters... I've put 1000's of rounds through it since... one of my sons that shoots with me loves it too.. easy to shoot..

I wonder how well it shoots out of the box without needing additional work to fix things compared to a Norinco JW-15.

lol, the name is pretty s**t but bang for buck best 22 out there I reckon.

Reason I asked re: accuracy is that its a CZ rip off and I think it may be at least equal in terms of accuracy.

My only gripe is the action is very tight, but I assume after a few thousand rounds it should loosen up a bit.

actual shooting from the box is perfectly fine.. just my particular rifle had the above issue... yet it was the first one my gun shop had heard of( and had sold plenty), so it may just have been a friday arvo special..

Yeah I've been interested in getting one because they appear unbeatable for the price unless you get a rossi but they are a synthetic stock.
