I purchased a new Magnum Research 17/22 from Bud's Guns and got a lemon! This is the first time I have ever purchased a lemon. I took it to the range using a Nikon 4-12x40 scope and placed the target at 30yds. It wasn't hitting a man sized paper target. I had to eventually move up to 15 yds to get it on paper and it shot about 12 inches left of center. I first thought my scope finally kicked the bucket as I adjusted the windage and the bullet stayed in the same place, so I went back to the range armed with a Vortex 4-12x40 scope and the same thing occurred. In one of the holes (that actually made it on target) it looked like it keyholed. After I left I kicked myself for not getting a picture of the target. I emailed Magnum Research (Kahr) today to tell them about my problem, so we'll see how they handle the situation. Disappointed to say the least.
I used 40 grain CCI and 38 grain American Eagle HV ammo.
Any ideas what may have caused this?
