I have the same rifle, it likes CCI sub sonic and SK standard plus.

Been waiting for a review. Thanks for posting.
Let us know how it likes the SK. |

I really love mine now that I've changed most of it.
New stock, new trigger and new bolt handle. I really, really hate the OEM stocks Ruger is using now. I've replaced 3 of the damn things. |

The stock is a bit flimsy, but I wasn't expecting much for this level of rifle. What did you replace yours with? I'm happy with the trigger (although there is a small amount of creep). I don't see any issues with the bolt handle. |

I don't see any issues with the bolt handle. I put a Boyds on the rimfire bolt and a 300 BO bolt. A magpul on a 10/22. I was just appalled by the stock, I put the 300 BO on a bipod and loaded it up, almost 2" of flex in the stock. Was impossible to site in from a bipod. Timney triggers in both the bolt guns and I just changed out the bolt knob because I could. Nothing wrong with them, but I like the bigger glades armory bolt handles. |

All groups were 5 shots at 50 yards. For the price, I'm really happy with the rifle. I feel with the right ammo and me doing my part, it'll shoot 1 MOA. I would venture to say you are already there! In your pictures the measurements look like they are taken from the outside edge of the two shots farthest apart. Using this method you then subtract the outside diameter of the bullet to get your group size: .787" = .564" .737" = .514" .721" = .498" .640" = .417" I have an 8334 as well that I run a Sparrow on and see groups close to that with Gemtech 42 grain subs and a 4X fixed scope (from a lead sled). It really amazes me sometimes. I would agree that the stock isn't perfect but it isn't absolutely killing the accuracy either. |

Did you put a Boyd's stock on an 8334? If so did it require any fitting? |

I have a boyds stock, you just remove the aluminum bedding blocks from the original stock and put them in the boyds. Your groups are very consistent to what I get out of mine, I did manage to get a .400(measured outside edge to outside edge), with CCI SV.

The accuracy seemed to be the same but I found that the forearm was touching the barrel, now since I've free floated it, it has gotten a little more consistent. If you buy one get it from DIP products and get there bottom metal with it, Boyd's is plastic and flimsy.

Were you able to just use a dowel and sandpaper to remove it or was it more involved? |

This interests me. I'm looking for a 22lr rifle to use in the 1 moa challenge, and my Savage Mk2, despite the reputation it has, just isn't cutting it anymore (it did when it was new, but it has gotten worse over time).
I'm down to deciding between the RAR 8334 and a KSA 722 Varmint. |
