I am having an ongoing issue with this rifle concerning accuracy.
Lapua Standard and Center X all deliver good groups. . .as good as the factory test target. . .dime size or better. However Lapua Midas and Eley Tenex just don't shoot worth a hoot.
What is weird is that my other two bolt guns ( CZ452 and Ruger M7722 ) just shoot everything I put in there. To be clear, the CZ has been bedded and a trigger job and the Ruger has been bedded along with a pillar block as well as a trigger job.
Neither of these rifles have anything special. They are both slim barrels where the Annie is a monster. The CZ and the Ruger will shoot with the Annie at 50 yards with a variety of ammunition. The Annie is picky.
I have read that .22s are that way but seriously, a 1.5 inch group at 50 yards with Lapua Midas makes no sense. The Annie trigger is amazing and the other two rifles don't come close. I am tempted to sell this rifle and buy a CZ 455 heavy barrel.
Anyone have tips? Should I perhaps consider a different barrel? Or just suck it up and say my rifle just is "picky?"
