I recently got a brand new RAW Chassis Rifle in .22. I’m shooting the JSB 25.39 grain pellets at an average of 940fps. I’m just setting at a solid table with the rifle on an Atlas Bipod. I’m not a competition shooter by any stretch. I plink and shoot birds. This is my best 10 shot group at 40 yards. I’m happy with it

i'm happy with all "10s" (the more "Xs" the better!) of a 10 shot group. 
using whatever target i happen to be into at the moment. most of them are ~a dime or smaller for the bulls.
40Y would be a nice upgrade! i only have 25Y here on my tiny 1/8th acre suburban lot.

Zach! Outstanding group there! Woo Hoo! Enjoy shooting it! As things settle in ES will tighten up a smidge more

I’m hoping the spread will tighten up. Martin thought I should tighten the hammer spring A little but so far it still has some extreme spreads. I’m really starting to enjoy the gun.

That is definitely “decent” accuracy… good shooting on your part. Too bad for them sparrows though…

I know my guns are more accurate than me but if I can get dime size groups at 50 yards & quarter size at 75 I'm good to go. With those groups at 40 you should have no problem at 50.

What pressure are you filling too? Found my RAW which I have tuned down to shoot 18.13"s @ 950 fps will shoot 1/2" groups all day at 50 yds. if I do my part, and I do not fill past 200 bar. Was doing the same thing when shooting the 25's. Anything over 200 bar was shooting like I was shooting buckshot! That group at 40 yds. ain't nothing to be ashamed of.

My personal "contentment" accuracy with a rifle is 2 MOA. Would like to get 1MOA at least once. My best to date of any gun, PB or air powered, Was my first session with my .22 M-rod. JSB Jumbos was 3/4" at 50 yards (1.5 MOA). One 10 shot group that good, all the others I shot that day were 1.0-1.25". Dead calm wind and perfect target lighting.

I’m filling to 250 bar which is what the tech at RAW said was recommended. I should do some checking but I haven’t noticed the accuracy changing that much as the pressure drops

I created the 30-yard challenge to find out how good or bad my accuracy was. Here is the thread and it is really fun to shoot. The target and rules are on the first post.

thats subjective lol ..for me, if i know a gun will hit something squirrel size 'every' time to 50y its acceptable .. if it does something funky and flies one occasionally, especially on a cold first shot, its not acceptable ..

This is fairly objective question, given that your have a higher end target gun then “descent” accuracy to me is <1.5 MOA, MOA is start of good accuracy and 1/2 MOA is start of GREAT accuracy.
From your picture the widest part of the group is about 3 pellets wide so C2C of 0.44 inch which is MOA at 40 yards or good accuracy or better than descent.

I’m happy with decent accuracy. I have a 3/4” spinner target I can hit pretty regularly at 65 yards. I’m happy with that because that’ll hit a sparrow or starling.

Usually acceptable to me is dime size or smaller 50 yards or closer and nickle size at 100 yards. Of course the goal is to do better but by pesting and hunting standards that's the kill zone.
