RWS HP all day for rabbits.
Eley Match as a fairly premium target round do not shoot that well in my rifle but R50 are brilliant.
Rifle is a 14inch barreled Anschutz
Have a Brno-2 and it likes the RWS HP best

I don't have much use for match ammo or subsonics and yes, they will consistently shoot sub 1" if is an ammunition the gun likes and it is a good LOT of same. When it really likes the ammo, half inch +/- a little is not an exception to the rule. The Aguila "SE" High Velocity I like shooting will shoot MOA from several of my BRNO's out to 100yards when the wind gods allow. In a 40 round comparison to SK-made Wolf Match it registered smaller SD and ES. MTLEADFARMER and I often shoot empty 22 hulls off the 50 yard backer and we don't miss much. I use high velocity almost exclusively. IT depends on the rifle and the particular chamber cut in the rifle. I don't even know how many 22's I have anymore but I expect all to do better than an inch @ 50 once i find the ammo it likes.I'll try and raise my standards to make me as amazing as you are Muir.
The OP was referring to Eley subs and having had probably about 12 BRNO's and CZ's over the years (my first being a 581 semi auto when I was 14 and after that a Model 2 and since then 452's and 455's and the majority of the time shooting Eley or RWS subs in them) I have to say that an inch or there abouts (possibly a bit less or a bit more) is an average performance with Eley or RWS subsonic ammo at 50 yards.
The OP is getting 1.25" and that's assuming the group is being measured outside edge to outside edge. I'd say that's average with subsonic ammo.
Are you saying that your "slew" of CZ's will consistently shoot half inch groups with non match ammo at 50M?
I’d say that’s acceptable personally. My 452 does about an inch with Eley subs and RWS subs. It will do a bit better with match ammo. You will always get folks that say their rifle will do half inch etc but I’d love to see 5 x 5 shot groups from these same folk as my belief is the ammo isn’t upto it. I just look for minute of rabbit these days as I’ve spent far too long chasing the holy grail with .22LRs.

You think 1 ¼" at 50 is acceptable for shooting rabbits, if you want a rabbit to drop without kicking with a .22lr you need to hit the brain, about walnut size.
So you would be pushing your luck to do that at 50 yards with a group like that.

Thanks very much for the lecture. I’m talking real world accuracy not internet accuracy.
No your making excuses for a rifle/shooter that isn't up to the job.
Neil.
So are you saying that every out of the box CZ should shoot under 1.25” at 50 yards with subsonic hunting ammo?
Never come across one that won't better that with ammo it likes, provided you do your job.
