Not trying to be a turd, but shoot a 10 shot string.I paid 237.00 for my Mark ll 22 mag and it shoots clover leafs at 75 yards. That's the longest I've shot it. What I mean by upgrades is replacing the plastic trigger guard off and replacing it with a metal one. Bedding the action and small inexpensive stuff. I have never shot another 22 mag that even shoots close. It came with a wooden stock and a bull barrel and the trigger is a little over 3.5 lbs. Mark ll's are known for their exceptional accuracy. I can't see any reason in spending another five to six hundred on top of 237 to maybe ( and that's big maybe ) get a rifle that'll hang with it. And I've got a 22 magnum, I'm sure the 22 long rifle is even more accurate than that. There's absolutely nothing wrong with this little rifle at all. I refuse to spend big money on a rimfire rifle when one can get accuracy like I've got. I bought a circa 1970s redfield scope 2-7 variable power off eBay for 100 bucks and it a great little combo. It will do everything and more than I need to and will last forever. What's even better is it shoots every ammo I have ran through it just as accurate than the ammo I tried before. The second pick is a four shot Group after I've zeroed the scope the scope in.
