My factory 10/22 barrel is decently accurate. Good enough that I don't plan to replace it. 1.5 MOA seems to be about average for 5 shot groups with winchester subsonics

As I recall the mountie model has a straight stock not the ugly (!!) pistol grip They don't make them anymore, last time I checked

.22lr is very very poo poo in the wind and it's so slow that it starts to drop insanely past about 150 yards out to 150 yards it's fun to plink at beer cans with and practice wind reading subsonics work better than supersonics for long range

In theory when the supersonic bullets drop through the speed of sound it destabilises them and accuracy goes to hell Subsonics don't have this problem.

How many norincos have you owned or had personal experience with? I've owned one of their .22s and had experience with several other of their guns, not the pistol in question but nonetheless, they were universally crap. Poor reliability (even their bolt .22's don't feed reliably without filing bits off the mags,the semis are laughably jam-tastic), poor accuracy, poor quality of fit and finish which results in the former 2 qualities. They're cheap and in this case you get what you pay for.

Ygolonac posted:Not as I understand it. A short barrel may have less flex, but a longer barrel (especially a bull barrel) allows a longer sighting radius, more power due to containing the propelling explosion longer (and thus giving the projectile enough oomph to make it waaaay out there without being deflected as easily by any breeze) and (badly phrasing here) keeping said projectile under control for a longer time. longer barrels allow longer sight radius but that's only valid for irons, more power is valid but pretty minor, the last one is actually a minus especially in slow calibres like .22lr, inconsistencies in follow through will become more of a problem with a longer barrel. 2 barrels of same contour, different lengths, and all else equal, the shorter should be more mechanically accurate.

200 yards isn't that far for a .22lr, it's like shooting, I dunno, 700? Yards with a .308. And if there's no wind it's easy. Human head is like 4 MOA at 200 yards so that's no biggie. IDK about the bottle silencer or the boat but the shot is pretty doable if your scope is good and you have the info to make the hit - range and an accurate chart. Hell I could almost do it and I'm a lovely offhand shot. .22 in the brain is probably going to drop you on the spot even at 200 yards soooooooooo

Valid. But without the boat, the shot is entirely doable.

I don't think the people naming .22 ammo take the effects of altitude etc into account, I use winchester subsonics, labeled 'subsonics', 40gr at 1050fps, ditto CCI subs

You're not going to have any problem shooting new .22 ammo in an old gun, it's such a low pressure round and I doubt that the newer stuff will be any higher pressure than the old.
