I went to the Tulsa gunshow this weekend and brought home a New Bearcat. I've been looking for one for a while. Prices seem to be high for a 22. I've seen them from $300 used up to $500 for an old model. I paid $315 for it, too much in my opinion but the best deal I've found in about 2 months of looking. I bought it for my girlfriend. I have several other 22's and none of them fit her hands. The Bearcat fit her, so it followed us home. I'm looking for suggestions on ammo for it. I don't expect bullseye accuracy from it but it patterns more like a shotgun. I've tried Federal bulk pack, CB shorts, CCI Blazer, CCI Stinger, & CCI mini mag. It shoots the best with the stinger and shorts. It holds about a 3" group with both. Should I give it some break in time? I ran a bore snake through it a few time before we shot it. Should I give it a better cleaning with a brush and patch? I have a single six, 22/45, a 929 H&R, and a Heritage 22. All of which are minute of tin can at 25 yards or so. Is a 3" group normal for the Bearcat or should I keep looking for the ammo it likes?
