Holli- If you look hard enough you can find .22s in many flavors that shoot better than most of us can. I have a bunch of them from a single shot Remington 512 that can take skeeters off a horses but at 25 yards,but I also scored an AR-7 take down for $100 and that shoots better than anything that looks like this should,and I think there still being made,and then there's the crown jewel- I found a Wetherby XX for $200 and that's as good a shooting rifle as Ive ever had the pleasure to shoot,you can tear one hole at 75 feet with a rest,so take your time and remember,seems
like all 22s like a certain ammo,they can shoot all well but they all have a favorite flavor of ammo. good luck.
