I shot the rifle after pillar and bed job a few weeks ago with mixed results. The first five shots were for fouling purpose in the nine ring shot at 50yrds. I like that it did not change a whole lot after taking the scope off for bedding job. I then made a adjustment with 8 clicks to the left and it tracked I think pretty good. Knowing I was going to shoot some different brands of ammo, I made no more adjustments. Groups were 5 shots at 50yrds, large red dots first then small dots second. The best groups were shot last . I still need to find the ammo the rifle likes best...

Nice rifle.  I had a couple of the Wby XXII semi-autos that they made previously.  Great shooters and typical Weatherby style.
 
Mine didn't care for the bulk 22 ammo you can find at Walmart, but sure liked the CCI Mini-mag loads.

I have had good results with the wolf black box. Which shells shot the 10 o'clock small dot That's not too bad.
Folks ain't got a sense of humor no more. They don't laugh they just get sore.

Need to follow the rules. Just hard to determine which set of rules to follow
Now the rules have changed again.

I don't think you can find a nicer looking .22 & with an Anschitz action to boot.Good luck with her.
 
FYI I've had good shooting with Fed Gold match[the cheapies @ $35 a brick]even better than Eley black box but then every riffle is different.

Lile the last two groups were shot with Fiocchi SM320 super match which I thought grouped pretty good just don't want to spend that much for plinking ammo. I to have shot some good groups with the wolf match target and recently pick up 500rds thinking this might be the go to ammo. I want to shoot some more rounds before cleaning, because it did seem to tighten up as I shot. In the past I have been cleaning barrel after each shooting session. 
 
Ernie thanks and I will have to give the feds a try.
