Super 88Rossi Model 59 22 Mag
I bought this little pump rifle at a reputable gun shop in Nampa, Idaho. It was hung on the wall with the sign "Accurate!" on it. Has a 24" barrel and is a take-down model. I took it out and shot some CCI with a 30gr Vmax bullet. It would only hold about 2+ inch groups at 25 yards off a bench rest. Not good! It also would not eject about 1 of every 3 fired cases. I just read that a lot of 22 mag ammo with the 30gr bullets don't shoot that well and I would be better off with the CCI Maxi Mag with a 40gr bullet. Anybody have any experience with this type rifle. I want to use it for shooting cowboy leveraction silhouette out to 100 yrds. Any ammo recommendations, sights, etc., would be appreciated. Thanks

PeterTake a look at this:
http://forums.accuratereloadin...=536100718#536100718lower down are a series of targets I shot at 50 yards with a variety of ammo. Your gun may well be different. 100 yard groups were disappointing.
That link or others may well have the 100 yard group targets as well.

PS. I recommend that you scope this thing while deciding which ammo is the most accurate, then having determined that, you can switch back to open sights. Do they allow a peep rear sight?

butchloci have an old brno 611 that will shoot pinwheels with the standard 40 gr loads, but with the new 30 gr. type stuff it shoots patterns instead
