Default heavy barrel 10/22

My 10/22 shoots 4MOA. I have changed out the trigger to a 2lb model. glassed some areas. Still 4MOA gun. Tried every piece of ammo I could get. Stingers do the best. The subsonic target stuff sucks.

So looking for a heavy barrel. Green mountain is my range. Don't want to go to lilja or others >300dollars. Thoughts.

just saw that stingers do best, my clark custom 10/22 with a 22" shilen barrel don't do worth squat with any hyper velocity, but fed. classic solids or ely scorpians will shoot bugholes. a pic

Drop some Lapua X-Act or Midas + in it or some Eley Tenex or black box match and watch those groups shink to almost nothing.

Have made 10 or so 10/22 builds and best bang for the buck in barrels are the Green Mt ones. For what you pay, you get a DARN good barrel. Keep in mind that when you say "heavy", the GM ones are all steel (or stainless if you go that route) as opposed to other .920 bbls that are aluminum.

Here's a few builds thus far:









More w/o pics and more still in progress

I just did a little stock work and my groups really shrank in size, and I still have the standard barrel. The receiver is glass bedded and I did a lot of trigger group stoning. In case you can't tell the stock is free floated and I got rid of the barrel band.

I stoned mine at first and ended up with a fully auto 22. Not a good thing. I bought a titanium sear. I figured that band would cause issues.
