THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT
Well i took my SR-22 out today and had alot of fun with it. i shot 219 of federal bulk 36gr and didnt have one hiccup, gun eats everything including 100 rds of thunderbolt remington the other day. my question is i was at 8 mybe 10 yards away and shooting at the pic below. why couldnt i get a tight group? i tried to shot high, center target and low and couldnt get a consistant group. any suggestion like the target wasnt the right height mybe.(ALSO I HAVENT ADJUSTED THE SIGHTS ANY I FIGURED THEY WERE DEAD ON OUT OF THE BOX)

No offense, OP, but if you're that close, I'd say its a problem with the shooter rather than the gun. Unless your sight(s) are loose, of course.

no offense taken the sights arent loose i just felt them. i usually shoot really well with 22LR i had a ruger mk 3 and s&w 22a and shot them pretty well. i may just be flinching my follow through or gripping it too tight.

Maybe its just that. I rented an SR-22 the other day and noticed that I felt inclined to flinch for some reason. Its really very comfortable to shoot, but I had to consciously make myself not flinch. That's wierd for me, because I never flinch on any of my own weapons.

Did you check to make sure the barrel is tight? Apparently, some of the early ones had barrel issues. It would actually loosen up and cause bad accuracy. I'm hoping I can shoot one well because I just got one myself.

Mine shoots a very small group at 12 yards. I am about an inch low and may adjust it next time we shoot. My fiance was popping cans at 25 yards with ease. I was impressed with the accuracy and reliability. 300 rounds with zero malfunctions using federal 40grain 1240 FPS from a 500 round brick.

Check for a loose barrel. Mine was loose and accuracy increased when I tightened it up.

I was very impressed with her shooting. She just started shooting left handed also... She is right handed, but left eye dominant. I actually bought her that pistol so she could get comfortable shooting left handed. Probably going to step her up to a walther pk380 by the end of summer.

I would suggest trying other ammo.
My SR22 didn't shoot the Federal stuff worth a crap.
Mine likes Rem golden bullets and the Winchester bulk pack pretty well.
It shoots CCI's like a laser.

I'd also try shooting a little closer to get your groups tighter, then try it further.
I generally shoot handguns at a self-defense distance of about 15-20 feet. but I do go further out on occasion.
I can put all 10 rounds in the size of a half dollar at that distance while standing.

I don't know if everyone has had this experience, but my SR22 seems to get more accurate the more I shoot it.
Maybe it's me or maybe it's the gun. Not sure, but I like it!

Loving my SR22!!!
