For years, shooters have believed that to get true tack-driving precision from a rimfire rifle, you had to use a bolt-action. In this episode of the Guns Podcast US, host Brent Wheat and co-host Roy Huntington sit down to shatter the long-standing myth about the inaccuracy of semi-automatic rimfires. Roy shares his recent hands-on experience with the incredibly lightweight and hyper-accurate Ruger 10/22 Carbon Fiber.

The days of spending thousands on aftermarket parts to make a 10/22 accurate might be officially over.
