I mean, I know you usually use them for close targets, so "1 inch" sounds a lot better than 2 moa, but is this normal for a target rifle?
What range SHOULD a 22 target rifle have?
Yes, yes, I know in most instances it's the shooter, not the weapon, that causes the miss, but 2 moa just strikes me as rather wide. I have an AR in .223 that shoots sub-moa (sandbagged), I would hope that any "target" rifle I buy could match that...

A .22 rimfire is not normally a 100 yd. precision round. Too much velocity loss and accompanying drift. Normal matches are held 25 and 50 yds.
The right ammo is key to good .22 accuracy. Good ammo, like the Eley and Lapua, is almost as much as centerfire ammo.
There is a championship .22 shooter reading here. He can jump in if he wants.
