Thread: .22 Magnum Accuracy

At least they are repeatable. I have the idea in my head that it's related to the case design and chamber specs rather than anything mechanically wrong with the rifles. The Euro rifles seem to be a lot tighter in that area, one I saw would not chamber every round from certain brands.

Well the Rossi hardly fits that description but shoots well. Maybe they copied European chamber dimensions?

I dunno, if the Rossi's do go well that'd be great. Possibly the old saying that 'even a blind squirrel can stumble over the odd nut' might fit?
