Yes, that is probably true that I got a bad one. But the problem is that most buyers aren't in a position to try 3 or 4 different 10/22s and then choose one that has acceptable accuracy. I've never seen the logic of adding custom barrels to the 10/22 because when you add the cost of the base rifle + the cost of a custom barrel, we are then into the price range where you could have just bought a much better and more accurate rifle in the first place.
I don't want to take this off topic and it's totally correct to start with the scope and mounts. My point was that the wildcard in this may be the fact that you cannot assume the 10/22 is a tackdriver and therefore the problem has to be elsewhere.
