Just finished my first accuracy test with a new Adler RF224 (12" barrel) and I'm curious whether these results are typical for other RF224 owners.

**Setup**

* Adler RF224
* UTG BugBuster 3-9x32
* RWS Rifle Match
* 50 yards
* \~35 km/h wind

**Results (4 groups)**

* Average: 3.96 MOA (2.08")
* Best: 3.09 MOA (1.62")
* Worst: 4.60 MOA (2.41")

For comparison, my Ruger 10/22 will usually shoot around 2 MOA or a bit better at 50 yards with decent ammo. I expected the RF224 to be somewhat less accurate because of the shorter 12" barrel, but I wasn't expecting groups to be nearly twice as large.

What really stood out to me was the trigger. It has a very long pre-travel and feels extremely heavy. It was difficult to get a clean break without disturbing the sight picture, so I'm wondering if the trigger is the biggest factor here rather than the barrel itself.

A few questions for RF224 owners:

* What kind of groups are you getting at 50 yards?
* Have you upgraded the trigger?
* Can the RF224 use Ruger 10/22 trigger string? I know the extractor and fire pin are compatible.
* If you upgraded the trigger, did it noticeably improve your practical accuracy?

My plan is to upgrade the trigger and repeat the test with the same ammo to see how much difference it makes.

Thanks for any feedback.

Adler RF224 owners: is ~4 MOA at 50 yards normal?
