ive got a 10/22.
it started out life as stainless 10/22T rifle cost right at 300. kinda spendy for 10/22. stock the rifle shot very good. but at 50yds to 70, 1" ten shot groups were normal, but at 200 i never realy tried.
now the rifle is blued and sports a 16.5" gm fluted barrel instead of the 20" ruger barrel. you wouldnt think it but acuracy improved with the 3.5" shorter barrel.
the barrel swap was brought about because the ruger barrel wouldnt hardly feed ammo. rife was sent back to ruger and they never got the problem fixed. i on last chance ditch effort swapped tubes and the problem dissapeard. with improved acuracy.
16" is suposebly the ideal barrel lenght to burn off all the 22lrs powder without that added 3"s of drag ounce the powders
burned, and the bullet is basicaly just gliding already loseing steam inside the barrel.
the rifle now has weaver v16 target dot, and groups are improveing, just mounted the scope a few days ago and sited in at 20yds. ran out of day light. so i had to stop there.
i think this rifle is now far better than ruger T model and would have been cheaper if i had started with a walmart rifle rather than 300 dollar T model
