Revolvers should be compared to other revolvers, not .22's to .22's. It is completely unreasonable to expect a $500 revolver to shoot as well as a $300 fixed barrel auto like the Ruger MK-series or Browning Buckmark. Hell, my Buckmark Bullseye will give me a quarter inch on occasion but it has always been exceptionally accurate, has a crisp 2lb trigger and wears a 4x target scope. In the revolver world, 1"@25yds is very, very good. Anything better is exceptional or the product of Freedom Arms. So a big fat red flag goes up when I hear somebody say they shoot half inch groups at 25yds with an el cheapo revolver shooting bulk ammo. Been around the block too many times to buy that story.
