Today, my friend brings over a .22/45 Target model, that he has had for some time, but hasn't fired. He shot it a few times, and told me "you shoot it, I think it is shooting really low and I have the sight raised pretty high. So i picked a clean target at 15 yards and carefully shot 5 times. CCI Mini-Mag HP. Only 2 holes appeared in the target. And they were oblong. Keyholes. I took the pistol to my "hobby room" and with the bolt locked back put a bore light in the chamber. No rifling. NONE. The barrel was properly chambered, (it ran fine with a couple of magazines full) but had never been rifled. It goes back to Ruger next week. :roll:

Oh, I'd have so kept that thing using to use CCI bird shot for starlings coming in and out of my roof eaves.
Would have been a thought if it had been a revolver rather than an auto.
