Nice 303! I shot 200 rounds through mine right when I picked it up at the LGS/Range. Picked it up from the cash register and walked right into the range. FUN!
SR22 at the range

Mostly Federal bulk. In the past it eats anything I put through it.
SR22 accuracy
Range Report: 9/12/2013
I have been to the range multiple times with my SR22 now and over three months have put around 800 rounds through it. I don't do marathon shooting. Normally 40 -100 rounds depending on the wx and time available. I have read many reports on the outstanding accuracy of this weapon but never have felt the need to explore it. Even worse perhaps, I never until today did any sight adjustment. I am mostly an instinctive shooter and essentially use the site plane and my eyes to fire at a target. I was always happy putting the sight plane at the 6:00 of the target and blazed away. The results were easily 2-3 inches and I was fine with that result. Today I decided to see if the sights even work. I fired the first three rounds of mag 1 using the sights both eyes open just as I do in my normal routine with the exception of using the sights. The rounds were 12:00 O'clock at three inches. Range 7 yards. I made my first adjustment and fired 3 more rounds all still high 2 inches at 12:00 O'clock. Same adjustment fired the last four in the mag, still an inch high. Made my third correction. Loaded mag 2. My first two rounds were fired very deliberately. Elevation dead on but about 3/4 inch right. I reset myself and used a combination of my instinctive technique plus the sights and fired more quickly. First shot in the X the next 7 rounds went through the same hole; well they made a hole slightly larger than a dime. Final round was cutting the same hole but I was probably 1/8 inch higher.
Reloaded both mags and set two clean targets out. Needless to say but
the results were 2 sets of ten shot worm holes. Again this is at seven yards.
I set up 2 more targets at 15 yards with nearly the same result all rounds covered with a quarter. WOW ! I kicked myself for not spending more time on accuracy !!!! This little gun is awesome. I didn't have time to continue playing but I can't wait to go to 20 and 25 yards to see what I can do. It's not a competition fire arm and my farsighted eyes will start coming into play at 20 and 25 yards but I am still impressed with what Ruger did when they produced this sweet little gun. I always take my .45 service pistol with me when I shoot the SR22 but I didn't even bother wasting a round in it. I can get my close quarter eye tuned just fine with this excellent firearm. Now if I can just score about 5000 .22 LR Rimfire rounds I'll be in hog heaven!!!
