It won't be anywhere near as accurate as a Ruger 10/22, due to the shorter barrel (16.2" vs. 18.5"), and a trigger pull of 6.6-9.9 lbs. Plus, it costs twice as much.

Also, sub-sonic ammo doesn't generally work very well in semi-auto's, and they aren't very accurate over any kind of distance.

I assure you can hit at 25 and 50 yard withs the the Tac 22 varaints that are out there. That said if I were going to have just 1 22 rifle it would probably be the Ruger 10/22. The depth of the aftermarket alone makes a it a great rifle.
As far as subsonic ammo goes My experience is as follows. The most common is Remington and it in my experience is terrible FTF is about 1 in 10. (this is running it behind a Gemtech Outback Silencer. The best domestic I have used is Federal Gold Subsonic a little harder to fine but with a FTF of about 1 in 75 with the work. Again I use this with a silencer so if it is going to fail to function it will there

Why buy a 1000cc when all you need is 100cc to move your fatass?

Change your rag out jc. He's not going to war with it.

I've had good luck with Remington in my old bolt action savage. Pretty accurate at 150 yards too. But I've read that the Colt doesn't like it.

Remington Subsonic is probably fine in a bolt or open breech gun but it doesn't run well in any of my semis

I use my dads semi marlin. I have a too big of scope on it. I can see the bullet drop like its slow mo. LOL.

I like semi and bolt. Semi to have fun. Bolt to take your time and concentrate.

Tru dat. I loved the heavy barreled Savage I used to have. It was a lot of fun.

The right tool for the job, FTW. I follow USMC protocol and always have more gun than I need. My .308 Win was always scoped and grained up for that 3-500 yd sniper shot, but I rarely shot at anything over 200. And the deer meat fell tenderized...

Except the big hole on the opposite side. LOL
