Accurate .22 lr Revolver

[MarkRW]

What kind of .22 lr revolver is the standard for target shooting accuracy?

My Mark III Ruger is great with the CCI Mini Mags, but won't cycle subsonic rounds reliably.

Try Remington Golden bullets, Federals or American Eagle. Those are some good and easy to pay for .22 ammo. My 10/22 shoots them all pretty good, if ammo is a problem.

Only really know of a good one, that is the K22 Masterpeice. Maybe Colt Frontier Scout Buntline or Ruger single-six with 9 1/2 bbl.

A S&W K17 or K22 is probably the standard by which others are judged.

Also a good clean and lube might be in order.

My single-six is pretty good.

I used to have a single-six, Its was pretty accurate

I have the new Ruger single ten and it's really accurate. Sights are easy to see and adjust.

The Ruger single ten convertible (.22 LR and .22 WMR cylinders) looks to be about $450 vs almost $700 for the SW 617 (which I think is the current production model).

Is there a drawback to the convertible Ruger? Seems the MSRP is higher than the non-convertible (.22 LR cylinder only) version.

I have given up buying the real cheap ammo - bulk copper coated hollow point Federal, Winchester, Remington - the accuracy stinks even at 25 yards. The also cheap Federal Lightning and CCI Blazer are OK (lead solid point). But, I like the CCI Mini Mags and Standard Velocity much better.

I like my SW 617 over my Ruger Single Six. The SW has more barrel weight up front that seems to steady the sights. I have better acuracy with it.

I have a Single Six and it does a remarkably good job. If you can find one, the Taurus copy of the Smith is quite good too.

I recently read a great review of the Ruger Single 10 revolver.......am really wanting to get my hands on one.....

 

[MarkRW]

Looking at Ruger again, it seems they have the Single 10 (.22 lr only) and Single 6 Convertible (.22 lr and .22 wmr interchangeable cylinders).

These models are supposedly "easy to load".

Any opinions on the convertible single six?

That's what I've got in stainless. It's a great shooter, can bounce cans all over the yard with it. Also very accurate when target shooting. Honestly, I've not put the mag cylinder in it.

I picked up a Heritage Rough Rider with 6 1/2" barrel and fiber optic sights at Bradis, 2 days ago. After about a hundred fifty rounds so far its as accurate or better that any other .22 revolver I've shot at half the price. I'm getting great groups from Aguila hyper velocity ammo.
This came with the .22 mag cylinder also but have yet to put it in.

i also vote ruger. had a single six ,it was great.also had a mark I standard and it was accurate and never ever misfired or jammed and i shot an incredable amount of lead through it. six inch or more barrel is best on whatever you get.
