I have quite an assortment of match ammo. Eley still gives me the best results in the two guns I own and shoot in what I consider the "accurate" category, and a third one that a buddy has that I shoot. And as far as scopes, I have quite an assortment to choose from. My eyesight is bad enough that I need all the magnification advantage, all the clarity advantage, and especially all the parallax correction advantage I can get. A VX-III in a x12, x14 or x20 really is not overkill for me when shooting a precision .22 rifle.
I don't own 22lr rifle I would consider precision, I have some straight shooter but no tack drivers. My target guns are handguns and the ranges so close I use red dots. In my opinion a new rifle like this deserves good optics and I appreciate input on optics in case I buy one. I have my hunting rifles scope sighted but looking at the Ruger I would probably buy a good 22lr scope???
Unless you rely on the BDC in a dedicated .22lr scope I find any quality optic works well on .22lr's.
Yes, I've owned a few.
you must have gotten hold of the one I finally sold off years agocouldn't hit the broadside of a barn while I was standing inside it with the one I had
I had the Target 22 hammer barrel for 22 years & finally sold it off recently. While it was smack-on accurate out to 75 yards, I found my buddy's ultralight Volquartsen barreled Kitt trigger/etc was every bit if not more accurate and way easier to carry around. And a bit more mysterious to me, as "how can such a STUBBY barrel be so accurate".10/22 target

Short barrels are "supposedly" inherently more accurate... They just don't have the velocity.. I read a study which said that shorter barrels imparted less variation due to less vibration.... Made sense to me.
