I have been having trouble zeroing my S&W 15-22 at 25 yds with standard vel cci. I found out today an interesting find. I was using a Caldwell led sled, just because I could use it to zero. After I tried to shoot the gun with out the sled, it was around 3 inches low, and the left to right was dead on. I re-zeroed with out the use of a sled. It appears to be dead on. In the past I have had a bi pod on the front of the forearm, I am believing that this was causing the inaccuracy. I am wondering if I take the cap at the end of the stock forearm will this solve my problem?
Anyone else has had this happen to them? |
| The S&W 15-22 are known to have the barrel nut come loose plus I've read where others have removed the front retaining ring/cap from the handguard to help free float the barrel. I know shooters who could throw off their POA by tightly slinging up an AR-15 so I have no doubt the polymer 15-22 could be flexing. The 15-22's polymer receivers don't play well with extreme heat compared to aluminum. My most accurate 22 LR AR-15 is a Gen 1 DPMS 16" Bull barrel which uses an upper without a forward assist or ejection port cover. The heavy free floated barrel shoots good but with the right ammo it shoots very good at 50 yards. |
