Acquired a Bull/Target Threaded Barrel Savage B22 last week and put a cheap Simmons scope on it to take to the range today. Also took my Ruger 10/22 w/ a Target Bull barrel and 22 Suppressor to run on both. The Ruger typically does 1/2" 5 shot groups @ 50 yards from the bench on a calm day and me doing my part with CCI SV. Savage B22 shot very well both suppressed and unsuppressed. The Ruger I knew typically shoots Better suppressed with the added weight on the end. Ruger had one flyer @50 yards and wanted to run another 5 just to see but realized I grabbed a 50 box of CCI quiet instead of SV so I was out of 22 for the morning. I saved the CCI quiet for another day of testing. For as little wind there was today, I really wish I could have stayed longer and had the ammo to take to 100 yards.
This Savage is deserving much better glass. This simmons is a 9-24 scope but I can tell you this, much more than 12x and the image quality suffers. Simmons does not put quality glass in these cheap scopes.
All groups are 5 shots front and rear supported from the bench
