I just bought a Stg 44 clone in .22 long rifle on a gunbroker auction. I really didn't want to pay that much for a .22 but I couldn't resist. Here's a link to the auction. STG-44 Semi-Auto 22 Long Rifle by GSG Sports *New* : Semi Auto Rifles at GunBroker.com |

For a .22lr, the cool factor is off the chart. Congrats.

There's a writeup on this in the new (11/20) issue of Shotgun News. I was lusting for one until I read the benchrest performance: 1.5" groups with SV ammo, @ 2" with hi-vel, at 25 yards. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

It’s not easy to make a semi-auto .22lr rifle that inaccurate. There is very little barrel vibration that goes on, and a simple blow back mechanism is an aid to accuracy, not a hindrance. Now it could be that they’re trying to do something goofy with a tensioned barrel or some such nonsense; but that’s not very likely. AR-7’s have goofy barrels and they shoot as well or better at 25 yards; most would do 2”-3” at 50 yards. It could also be that the sights were loose and the evaluator didn’t catch it. But honestly, 2” at 25 yards being the BEST it could do from a rested position out of a rifle…that’s a bit hard to swallow. | |

I am with Kevin on this for the time being maybe Bearcat will chime in?I find it hard to believe a 22 that inaccurate mainly thinking harmonics here on the barrel.I guess it's a possibilty it could be a POS barrel or setup but even my old tube loader 22 from Sears(?) shoots accurate out to 100yds granted the barrel might be a couple inches longer.All I shoot is open sights so it's right up my alley just have not shot in awhile just keep making ammo.

The new issue of GUNS magazine, which also came in today's mail, also has a writeup on the thing. Groups ran from 7/8" to 1 3/8", but the reviewer never got around to saying at what range he shot these groups. If they were at 50 yards, that's very creditable performance. If they were at 25, not so much--but these numbers would be in line with the Shotgun News results.

WOW ! all these reports coming in the same I will have to opt out for one unless we hear from Bearcat otherwise. ![]() and the Umarex was worse? Last edited by Javlin; 11-16-2012 at 05:38 AM. |

In my experience, just about any .22 rifle should be able to bust 1/2"--or no worse than 5/8"--at 25 yards with at least one brand of cheap, plinker-grade ammo. One of my worst is a 1:12 AR-15 with the USGI M261 conversion, and even it will hang around an inch or just over at 25 yards. | |

It will be sometime until I will be able to get to the range with this thing but I will report when I do. I hope it's more accurate than people are reporting.

Here's a range report on the STG 44. It shoots good enough for me. This target was shot at 50 yards with bulk Federal ammo, I had two ftf in 50 rounds. The horizontal stringing was from making sight adjustments. The one hole in the center is from a full 25 round mag fired pretty rapidly. By the way I found out the STG will accept an H&K claw mount. ![]() |

That looks good from this end Bearcat and I bet with practice and better ammo 2" and smaller groups @100.Looks like a keeper ![]() ![]() Last edited by Javlin; 12-03-2012 at 07:54 PM. |

I was wearing ear plugs and I usually shoot centerfires so I don't know if it was specially quiet I wasn't paying much attention to noise. It's really fun to shoot though and it weighs a ton for a .22 so i'ts ver pleasant to shoot.

Alright you guys, stop it!! Looks like I know what I am going to do when (if?) I get a tax refund next year. I'm glad I ain't never been hypnotized. I am apparently extremely susceptible to suggestion. ![]() ![]() |
