About this video:

Getting into NRL22, benchrest, or upgrading your match-grade rimfire rifle?
It is easier than you think to ruin your accuracy - or even damage your rifle - without realising it.

In this video, I break down the most common ways shooters damage their new .22LR rifles and wreck their precision without even knowing it.
Learn how to avoid these mistakes and keep your rifle shooting at its absolute best.

✅ The action screw mistake that destroys accuracy
✅ How over-tightening your scope rings can kill tracking
✅ Why protecting your muzzle crown is critical
✅ The real risk of dry-firing rimfire rifles
✅ How the wrong mindset wrecks your precision
✅ Simple habits that protect your investment

Modern rimfire rifles are capable of incredible performance, but they are more sensitive than you think.
Treat your .22LR like a precision tool, not a toy, and you will start seeing serious results.
