scottd1975 Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Well I clean it and bore snake the barrel the after the first fifty rounds I bore snake the barrel then again at 100. The I let loose. Most important thing is to clean if before you shoot the first time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longitude Zero Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Clean and lube. Shhot like crazy. Generally I keep a can of compressed air to blow out the debris every 100 rounds or so and keep shooting. 22's are pretty dirty shooters.

krazyeights Posted June 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 Thanks "scottd1975" & "Longitude". I've already cleaned my rifle with the bore snake and used CLP for lubing.I'm heading out to Burro Canyon (Outdoor range) this weekend and will sure bring my cleaning supplies with me.I can't wait to see how the rifle performs and hope there won't be too much FTE/FTL.I'll let you guys how it goes.

Madhouse Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 Just DO NOT use Remington Golden Bullet ammo and you should have a failure-free session. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longitude Zero Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 Just DO NOT use Remington Golden Bullet ammo and you should have a failure-free session.Your welcome and I completely agree here. Mine coughed and sputtered with this ammo. Federal and CCI went thru like crap thu a goose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazyeights Posted July 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 Just got back from the shooting range today and boy was it fun!2 bullets got bent back (jammed) on my 11th magazine (10 Rounds). Other than those 2, everything went smoothly. I shot about 300 rounds today and I just love how accurate and fun this rifle is. I used CCI AR Tactical 22 and Mini Mags 22 LR ammunition and they worked great. The 2 misfire was from the AR Tactical, and zero from the Mini Mags.I am considering using the Federal Bulk pack next time and see how they'll do.

Aguablanco Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 I have used Federal bulk(745) exclusively with absolutely no problems. This ammo, in my gun, seems to be the one. I have over 4K through it.RichH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
