Just got mine today
What optic are you going to use? Let us know how you like it after you get a few shots down range. I'm very pleased with mine.

When you do your ammo tests consider posting pictures of the targets to illustrate the point that in .22's ammo type can change group size and point of impact even though everything else is the same. It would be a public service to the new shooters out there.
Here is a link to some ammo testing, lots of ammo several rifles at various ranges, click on the rifle and range in the first post to see the targets:

I plan on also providing Chronograph data for each type. But 18mph winds in the morning this will have to wait to next weekend.
Can't go wrong with anything made by Vortex. Just don't forget that you will be mounting this on a 30 moa scope rail and that you will need enough internal scope adjustment if you want to be able zero at close range (25 or 50 yards). I have an Athlon 6-24x50 FFP with side focus and it works very well. It has 62 MOA total internal adjustment and a very nice reticle. Also, Athlon has a lifetime no questions asked warranty just like Vortex.

Well, I went and shot today was getting a little upset at the group sizes until I got down to the Federal Target this is the load I zeroed the gun with. The Federal HV also showed promise but I ran short on time to continue testing. This yellow target with all the 1inch dots (100yards) are 10rnd shot groups fired at about the same pace and a short break between every 3 to load the next 3 mags. The Top left target I had to shoot 10rnds again I had to aim at the dot below to even get them onto the paper so that's a good 6inch height increase. This is a real target, not an expert shooter but this is my honest target only reshot the one group to get it onto the paper. The Federal Target, Federal Target HV, and Automatch are the best 3 that I had IMO.
The wind was blowing from left to right if you couldn't tell and was gusting at a few points. From Image left to Image Right or from the 9 O'clock to 3'Oclock.
The Dots at 150 and 200 are 2inches in Diameter.
The next three pictures.
1. (10rnds) Federal Target again 100yards with chronograph data and Weather Data
2. (15rnds) Federal Target 150yards
3. (15rnds) Federal Target 200 yards ( I pulled the Topmost shot)

Excellent! A good example of why ammo testing is important because it make a difference in both group spread and position.
I just got mine Friday. That is the same scope I have in mine. I can’t wait to get mine to the range. Are you aware of anyone having shoots we could try?

Still impressed!
Last Sunday I shot 6 (5 shot) groups at 200 yards using the 42 grain, subsonic Eley Contact ammo. This was the best of the 6 groups. The first three shots were on the center low right and I should have stopped then because It would have been a 1/2 moa group
Instead, I ended up with about a 1 moa group. Still, not too bad for a $400 rifle

After finding quality ammo and establishing a good zero, my friend shoots one hole groups with his RPR .22. He recently made the jump to precision matches and even though shooting from a variety of positions/scenarios is a bigger challenge than slow fire from a bench, he still does well with this rifle.
