I bought a stainless Marlin XT-22 with tubular magazine a few years ago and have been putting it through some accuracy tests the past few years. I finally put it head to head with a Mossberg 702 Plinkster I also own and between the two, the Mossberg grouped better with most every ammo I tried. The sole exception being CCI Quiet, which doesn't work in autoloaders and also happened to group the best with the Marlin.
So, if the only ammo that shoots extremely good in the XT-22 is CCI Quiet, I can't accept that.
Anybody want to try a guess as to why this XT-22 of mine can't shoot less than 2 inch groups at 25 yards? I'm thinking it has to do with the tube magazine itself. It attaches to the barrel and I'm thinking, unlike with the box magazine XT-22's, that it's throwing off the accuracy.
Or could is just be this particular rifle I have sucks?
