Ruger 10/22 accuracy expectations

Generally 1.5" at 50 yards with typical bulk pack type ammo. If you're lucky it might shoot 1" with ammo it really likes.
 
Yeah, 1" at 50yards is doing pretty well with a stock gun. There might be that 1 in 100,000 that actually shoots MOA, but I wouldn't bet on it. Also, I would strongly suggest a trigger upgrade on the new 10-22's as the triggers on modern ones pretty much suck. I know mine did.

If you have the "rifle" version without the barrel band they might be a bit more accurate, but I am just taking shots in the dark on that.
 
About 4 inches at 50 yards with the stock 9 pound trigger.

I'm serious, too.

I actually thought I'd left the safety on the first time I shot the last carbine I bought.

I could cock the hammer and pick the rifle up by the trigger and it wouldn't release.

All of my 10/22's (on number 4 right now) would do 1.5 - 1.75" groups at 50 yards with hunting grade HP's when bone stock. Those are honest to god measured groups not some "approximate" number I pulled outta my behind. Some groups were a little better but NEVER worse. Never tried match or sub-sonic ammo in them so those groups could more than likely be reduced a little with better ammo.

If you want to shoot little tiny groups, drop in a Kidd 2-stage trigger group, have the bolt blueprinted and add a floated Lilja barrel. Then you can shoot real small groups...:).
