Ruger Precision Rimfire 22mag - Chuckin TV Review - Out of the Box Accuracy Test 

I suspect that your trouble with the shift can be explained by the scope's internal adjustments. I once experienced a similar shift with a top of the line scope that I could not figure out! I placed a call to the manufacture and discussed the situation with a Technician. I discovered that that particular scope line had had a "new" type of lubricant used in the internal adjustments and that it has a tendency to "settle" if the scope is set aside for a long period of time and the adjustments not used! After following the Techs advise and working the windage and elevation adjustment knobs as directed, the scope worked perfectly and has never "acted up" again. The scope was not defective in any way, just needed to be worked and used. You might try turning the adjustment knobs twenty to thirty full turns each, both directions, to free up the internals and see if the problem persists... This solved the trouble that I had and may solve this problem as well! Good Luck and let us know how it goes if you take the time to try this remedy...

Took my new 22 mag RPR to the 100 yard range yesterday for the first time. I installed a bipod and Nikon 4x12 scope. First I found the groups were great shooting on the bipod. After about 15 rounds I had it dead nuts in the bulls eye. I fired another 25 rounds and completely shot out the bulls eye, only red left in the bullseye was on the outer edge. I only used CCI TNT Green 30 grain ammo. Extremely pleased with the Rifle and ammo.

Awesome job man! Really nice to see this rifle up close and personal and great groups for being a brand new gun!! That Winchester group was pretty tight! Keep it up

Just bought a 22WMR version yesterday. Can’t wait to pick it up and have some fun.

Nice review Garrett. I love what Ruger has been releasing the last couple years. I picked up the American Rimfire in .22 Mag a few months ago and found the V-max to be the best shooting from mine as well. The hammer forged barrels and adjustable triggers are definite performers. Especially for the price point.

I bought one of these in 22LR after a member in my club let me shoot his. Shortly after I bought mine, I was bummed to learn that Ruger was coming out the same gun in 22mag and 17HMR. I enjoyed the 22LR, but I wanted more pop so I sold the 22LR and got one in 17HMR. It's a nice piece and pretty accurate at 100 yards.

Scope or scope mount is usually the culprit. Velocity effect elevation.

I feel like I should go back to 2019 and warn you of future events. Buy 1000 boxes right now... trust me.

With my experience, ruger rimfire LOVE cci. Thanks brother, cool vid 🤙🏻🤙🏻

I got mine about a year ago. Super accurate at a hundred yards, I tried it at a 160 but I could barely see the target with my cheap scope. So can’t wait to try it again once I buy a better scope.

I bought this rifle this last Christmas at the insistence of my son......he's a gun nut....took it out of the box, put a scope on it and went to the range. We didn't bore sight it at all, so it took a bit to get on paper. Once there, my groupings were consistently in the 2" range at 100 yds. Before you say that's terrible, the rifle was out of the box, and I was using an ammo can for the front rest and my fist for the rear! However, I was using CCI maxi mag 40g and Hornady 30g VMax ammo, and noticed very little difference in the groupings. They were fairly consistent between the two. Next trip to the range, I've got a bipod on the rifle and sandbags for the rear rest. Should get those groups where they need to be. Rifle has been thoroughly cleaned and lubed, ready to go. Looking forward to it!

Evening buddy 😁. Nice one mate. It looks like a good piece of kit. Thanks for sharing mate. ATVB Andy 🇬🇧 👍 ☕

Nice vid! I'm guessing the windage was adjusted 'right' but the spring in the turret didn't expand properly, maybe hung up on a burr inside. After a few rounds it popped into position and shifted everything to the right. I like to run my new turrets all the way top to bottom and left to right, and back a few times. It helps spread the lube and make sure the springs are running smoothly. Enjoy your vids, thanks for sharing!

You and others have more than convinced me to get one _but_ the problem is my local shooting spot is indoors which means limited range... which is 70-ish feet which really kills the point of owning a precision rifle. It's the same as keeping a large dog in a studio apartment. Give it some room to run!

Yes got to get one

I love the gun i just bought 1 last week

5_6 change is hard to believe at 50 yds. I can see a inch or 2 , suspect scope/ mount problem

40gr cci jacketed hollow point maxi mag best all around available 22 mag ammo for rifles. Standard to measure the rest by

Same thing happens with my Ruger precision. Need to use same ammo all the time or groupings are not good.

Very strange. I was thinking the scope rings might need to be lapped. But then I saw you did go and shoot the cci again. I guess it could be wind. I have a rpr in 6.5 creedmoor. Hornady match 147gr eld site in 3/8” moa. Practice with some what cheap FMJ and the moa opens up a bit but it’s still on. Just curious the 22lr would you go rpr or tikka t1. I have a bunch of 22lr I actually like shooting them the most. None of which are a competition or precision 22. Just looking for opinions rpr22lr vs the tikka t1.

I have only seen those kinds of odd groupings when my scope or scope base was loose or not mounted correctly.

I just bought this gun. Haven’t shot it yet. Thanks for the great video. Nice to know what amo to get for it!

Hornady and Ruger make a great combo

My old 22 mag is fussy about what ammo I feed it. I get best accuracy with the 40 Gr bullets under 2000 FPS. The 2200 FPS and faster 30 gr bullets don't groups as well in my gun. Every gun is a bit different even in the same model.

Dude, I did the same “forget-my-mag” tactical maneuver on zero and test day. I found that hand loading adversely affected the accuracy. I put some into some ballistics gel and noticed that hand pushing it over the “feed ramp” was just barely marring the lead in lead ammo. I went and bought a BX10, problem solved. Just a heads up.

I saw the tree branches swaying in the background. Could the wind have picked up after the first grouping?

I shoot way better off a sand bag by having both hands at the rear of the rifle and not hanging on to the front grip I waver back n forth when i shoot like that the sandbag is a lot more steady than my hands are and anchoring both hands in the rear really helps me

your scope mounts come off? or recheck your zero? ive been competition precision shooting 22 an pellet rifle since i was 15 an im 22 but ive seen it happen from a mount coming loose or your sights/scope drifting off

Some days I shoot better than others maybe go back and shoot some groups with the same ammo? Maybe it will change maybe not but it's always a good day to get out to the range. Maybe the barrel settled in a little after s few rounds. 22 mag is great for groundhogs so hopefully you will get it where you want it and get out in the field! Nice little rifle I did not know they came out with a 22 magnum. Thanks for Sharing!

Did you try the cci again? To see if the scope shifted

Last time I shot a group like that the scope mounts were loose.

What did you zero the rifle with to begin with?

It’s so strange how the mag handles different ammo. I always have the adjust the scope to the ammo. Right now I have the 40gr cci hp but my 93 likes the tnt 30 grain for some reason, 2200

No ear & eye protection?

Highlands 22 magnum ammo shot out of a 22 magnum Stirling rifle wonders over 50 yards horndy 22magnum ammo 30 grain bullet I find the best on still nights for foxes around 150 200 yards

I have a 22 WMR that has been shooting CCI Maxi Mag with very good success all the way out to 200 yards. I just bought some Hornady 30gr V-Max to try. I'll let you know if I see the same 5 inch deviation to the right as you saw.Laurin

Weaver out on the range to day showed your video to some old school shooters they said shoot the cci again the best group you can get them try the hornady next sight in for the hornady then shoot cci again.

I must say I like wood stocked rifles

New to the channel, really digging it. Would you say the 22 mag is better for groundhogs than the .17 HMR? Federal makes a 50 grain 22 mag that my rifles shoot well.

How loud is the .22 mag vs .22lr i live in a densely populated area

Amigo what kind scope you use

I would check your scope.

Have you been getting any groundhog this year

Hello, I’ve got a 22 WMR and a 17 HMR that both shoot sub MOA, until I shoot them another day. Both are free floated and bedded at lug and tang. Both have smooth and light triggers. I’m using same rounds as the first time. They blow up to 2 and 3 inches at 100 yards. I’ve tried cleaning the barrel and not cleaning it. I’ve run a couple or several fouling rounds thru it. Still scratching my head. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

Can you screw any suppressor on the end of one of these?

Why not shoot the CCI again to verify zero of the scope

G96 is wonderful stuff. (thank you Bethel Shamburg).

Different rounds have Different points of impact chief.

I love the 22 mag round soup cans fear it (((((((( [] ))))))))

I have cci's i recommend those 4 the Rifle they shoot better

The short barrel is kind of a downer...I wish they had put a 20 inch barrel on it!

first thing to learn about precision shooting always use the same weight of bullet you sight your scope in with.

Need a bi pod on that baby. Mine loves CCI 40 grain....

the scope moved

Ruger are notorious for liking a dirty barrel run 2 clip then sight in

I would get a better scope for that I have one and it definitely not a rim fire scope

Iam not impressed with the accuracy from their 22lr, , may you have the best of luck with this mag !

Mine shoots all over the place so much so that my son want to chuck it in the dustbin we also do not have a varity of ammo in africa the gunshops is like"this is what we got,take it or leave it" last ammo i bought was winchester 30 grain on75 yards it groups at about 5inches

I wish you would have shot the first ones again to see if they moved too. Maybe your cross hairs jumped with the vibration of the first shots.

what scope is this

Armstrong. It's called flat tip lead.

Why shoot a hollow point out of a rifle?

Are you not using eyes or ears??

also forgot your ears and eyes

Its not the ammo it's the scope that sucks.
