    Steel challenge rimfire question

    Currently have a Ruger 10/22 in a Magpul stock, set up with a Green Mountain Bull barrel and vortex venom red dot. Just discovered the steel challenge up in Piru. Any recommendations for a new bull barrel to use for the match. Current barrel is a touch over 3 pounds, and lighter is better, right?
    Thanks for the tips.

      Most competitors use either a tactical solutions ultralight barrel or a Volquartsen ultralight barrel.

The full length dust cover rail makes a world of difference in the "when I run out of bullets I'm going to beat you to death with the pistol" look that causes bad guys to run in fear, and lesser men to feel inadequate. It looks just plain beastly and the extra heft up front does help manage recoil a bit better. Plus, an angel told me that when God called JMB to heaven it was to build him a full rail 1911!

                  My entire rifle is around 4 pounds.

                      Use the stock barrel, no shot over 40yds.

                          What exactly is this? I'm close to Prado and like shooting steel with my 10/22. I've only shot steel at Angeles though.
