So I shot it. Now this isn’t competition worthy I’m sure but it surprised me. You can literally see where the gun was shot suppressed, moisture collected only to one side of the barrel when it was laying on its side and caused some corrosion. I wish I took pictures but I definitely wasn’t happy about leaving it sit at some point with the can on.
I’m sure it was up at our camp where we pound through a 500 round box of SK between a couple rifles over the weekend and I left the can on
Anyways took it out for the first time this year. Up to a rainy and cold 35°
Shot one group at 50 yards. Took me a couple shots to get on paper as the new DNT wasn’t bore sighted. Shot out of my kids bedroom of a plastic folding table
50 yards. 8 shots of SK LR. I had 10 in the mag and I took the first couple to get on paper

Next I moved to 100 yards. Shot the rest of the 50 round box. My drop showed 6.1. Not realizing that was in moa I donated the first few rounds to the swamp behind my target
This is the last 3 groups at 100 yards. 30 consecutive shots with only 1 round which was the first of that group going outside 1 MOA. Otherwise 29 shots inside 1 MOA and think like 27 inside 3/4 MOA

Doesn’t seem like anything is changed as this is how it shot before.
My next question,
Is this considered good? I do want to build another 22 coming up for my wife and eventually kids to shoot with me. I’m thinking I may just put this one back in the factory stock and build out a high end one for myself. I’m not sure with the way this is shooting if it’s worth a new barrel after firing it
I did have 1 or 2 hang ups each mag where I had to reseat the round in the mag for the bolt to properly grab it. I’m also not super crazy about the bolt lift on this thing which makes me sway towards just upgrading down the road
On another note. This DNT rocks and blows the Arken it replaced out of the water.
