The rifle will do MOA with Rem. 33 gr and Hornady 30gr vmax loads and 1.5 MOA with a couple of 40gr loads, a fine little rifle for the money.

After watching countless NUTNFANCY videos and seeing all his duracoated .22's i really wanted to replicate his results, so I spent some time today and painted my RAR compact. I'm still waiting for a scope but figured why not. I was gonna duracoat it but figured I am pretty good with a rattle can so what the heck. I did disassemble the rifle a bit, pulled the bolt and action from the stock. I masked off the mag well, chamber, safety, sights and trigger group.

FYI Rustoleum Camo paint does NOT like Hoppe's #9 solvent Lol. My RAR may just be going back to black. At least the barreled action anyway. Here's a target from today still hoping with more rounds down range the groups will tighten up.



Edit: I used the Hoppe's solvent tonight to remove all the paint on the barreled action. I used a toothbrush but it didn't get the paint out of the stamped and etched lettering. I think a brush with thinner bristles may work.

Here's the after paint removed pic and new scope a Nikon P22
