Curious about .22 r.f. AR rifles.

I own 5 centerfire AR rifles, 3 are 5.56, one is a 6.8, one a .308.
They are as accurate out of the box as any good bolt gun, suitable for varmint & big game within the limits of the calibers.
I've kinda thought about an AR in .22 r.f. but haven't read any posts anywhere about the accuracy of the AR .22s.
"Only accurate rifles are interesting" is the phylosophy I follow.
I strive for a minimum 50 yard group of 1 inch or better from ALL my .22 r.f. rifles & I have several.
With .22 r.f. ammo the rifle prefers getting 1 inch 50 yard groups is definatley doable, my 10-22s do better than 1 inch even with Remington bulk Golden Bullets, I often achieve 0.5 inch with prefered ammo, not match ammo at that.
Do any of you AR .22 r.f. owners shoot the AR from a bench rest at 50 yards & test for accuracy?
If so what could I expect from an AR rifle in the way of accuracy?
Are they fun "blasting" rifles suitable for rolling tin cans?
That fun & fun is a good thing. I'm not such an accuracy snob that I won't have fun with a rifle.
