What a crock "10 shot 3/4 inch groups" "Empty the clip into one ragged hole" - If you boys want to back those claims up e-mail me I'll take that bet...
NRA magazine - test - Ruger MK III Hunter .22 LR 6 3/4 inch barrel - at 25 yards, off sand bags - by professionals that I damn well guarantee you can shoot a heck of a lot better than some clowns on YA. The average of all 5 shot groups was 2.57 inches, the smallest group shot during the entire test was 1.26 inches
If you can consistently shoot 5 shot, 4 inch groups, off hand at 25 yards with a .22 Browning Buckmark...That's very good shooting
You did get reasonable answers from "pathfinder" and "Christopher H" - Nice to see there are some shooters who have a clue...

I read an article about that one time. If I recall it said a .22 didn't start actually losing velocity until you got a barrel over about 30 inches, it might have been 32. That would probably be too long for say squirrel hunting, just because that's a lot of gun to tote around in the woods. But for a target rifle like that it would be fine.

With the right ammo brand, a shooting bench, and plenty of practice you should get under an inch. Buckmarks are exceptional pistols with better barrels than any of the Rugers.

.22s are finicky about ammo. Try a lot of different factor loads. At 25 yards shooting from a good rest I would expect the pistol shoot in the 2" to the 2.5" range with the ammo it likes the best.
But I cannot emphasize enough that .22s are picky. Shoot a dozen different brands and types at least.
Good luck.

if you have good triger control your buckmark should be well under 2 inches off hand and under 1 inch off of snd bags

approx 1.5 inch group with rest or bags my Smith 22a will do that and i consider the buckmark a much better pistol

I'm inclined to agree with the other responders. An expert marksman could probably empty the magazine and produce one ragged half inch hole. A competant one, one to two inches.

depends...
a good grouping to me would be 3/4" or less for 10 rounds (which you don't mention how many rounds). I'd say for the average person with that criteria, a 2" grouping would be fair to good.

This is NOT a super duper target grade gun, so if you are getting 2- 21/2 " groups , you are doing great.
