Ruger 10/22 with Volquartsen barrel

[Litespeeds]

I recently bought a used Ruger 10/22 with some custom parts including a Volquartsen bull barrel, Harris Bi-Pod, cheaper Bushnell 1x6 scope and Hogue rubber stock. Not sure if the original owner worked on the trigger but that is something that I can tinker with later.

So I took it out for the first time yesterday and shot it at 50 yards with a few different types of 22 LR ammo. I was pleasantly surprised and happy with the results. I was hitting some quarter size groups with the CCI Blazer and CCI Standard Velocity ammo. Of course that's after I got use to the rifle and scope.

I also shot some Wolf steel case .223 out of my Colt LE6920 with Geissele SSA-E trigger with Bushnell TRS-25 red dot and full co-witness iron sights as well as PMC Brass .223 from my PWS MK-114 with a Primary Arms 1x6 scope. Needless to say, my groups were so much tighter and better with my Ruger 10/22.

Can't wait to take my kids out to the rifle range so they can play with the Ruger. Awesome rifle setup that I paid only $300 for. Worth every penny.

These are 3" targets and the center is 6" target at 50 yards. Need a little more practice and then I'm going out to 100 yards and hope my results will be similar.

Everyone needs a Ruger 10/22. So much fun.

Damn that's a score for 300!

Sounds like you had a blast. You should check out an Appleseed course sometime. Your rocking 3/4 inch groups now, you will put that rifle through its paces and really make it shine!
Enjoy your great score and have fun

Here's a picture of it. Having problems loading it to Shutterfly.

You got the rifle for the cost of the barrel alone, so it's a steal. That barrel should give you dime sized groups at 50, using the CCI SV ammo, once you have things dialed in (bedding, trigger, etc).

This... Great score!

try using some match ammo or subsonic ammo and report back on the groupings. you will be impressed

I had a feeling I got a good deal for this setup. First time shooting a 10/22. Only shot an AR twice in my life so I'm definitely new to long guns. I've been doing research on 22LR ammo and from what I've read, the CCI standard velocity is the best cheap ammo for accuracy. CCI Blazer is not bad either. Don't think I want to buy target match ammo as those get too expensive.

I know I can improve my groupings with a better scope and better trigger but not going to spend more money into it until I spend more time with what I have.

I'm just a weekend warrior and go out once in awhile to shoot with my kids (18 & 21). Nice to share a hobby with them.

That's a smoking deal for a very sweet setup. Congrats!

And yes, everyone need a 10/22

I have a stainless 10-22 barrel of the same make---spend some time trying different match grade ammo and maybe a scope with more magnification---mine has a 6.5-20x Leupold scope that I had lying around---mine will shot groups easily half or even smaller than the pictures you have posted---remarkable really---and yes, you got a smoking' deal on that rifle!

nice pick-up.
