While on a trip over New Year's visiting the in-laws in Summerville, SC I went to the ATP gunshop there. I picked up a new 10/22 that I had never seen one like before. It has a SS 20" varmint contour barrel and the deluxe stock. All I can figure is that is was a distributor special of some kind. The trigger is surprisingly smooth & light for a factory 10/22. The scope I put on it is a Burris Timberline 4.5-14x32 w/ adjustable objective. It's compact just like a rimfire scope.
Anyways, I lined the scope up at 50 yds (which is all the distance I have) and then fired 2 - 10 shot groups each at 50 yds using SK Standard Plus and Wolf Match Extra. I had one flyer in each group that I will take the blame for. Needless to say I am very pleased.

Rimfire central has some tips on how to smooth out that trigger. Lots of other mods too, if you are willing to do your own work.
