I have a 550-1. According to the dating code on the barrel. It was made in Nov. of 1956. I've had a scope on it from time to time. At 50 yards. The holes will touch or very close. At 75 yards They will drop about a 2.5". Open up to about 1.5" I have several 22 rifles. Only my browning SR 22 Can get close to the 550-1's group at 50 yards. Very accurate rifle to be close to 70 years old. It also never jams, No FTF, or FTE. Naturally, there is a dud or severely underpowered round now and then. Not the guns fault. If the round fires it will 100% eject the casing, chamber the next round! The only drawn back to the 550-1. Is the floating chamber gets dirty quickly. I have found a way to partially disassembled it. Remove it from the barrel. So underneath it can be cleaned and oil. Maybe every 400-500 rounds. Awesome rifle!!

I was gave one of these and it was a tack driver , I gave it to a young boy in a family that did not have a lot of money , and he has thinned out the squirrels with it.

@@lastminuteman I really loved having the one I had but I have volquartsens and don’t need another auto 22 and so I felt the need to find this great rifle a worthy home.

That’s exactly what my father said… I’ll try to find a good video on disassembling the rifle for cleaning. Thanks for all the great info and support 👍
