Need thoughts/suggestions for a Ruger 10/22 Bull Barrel

[usmcmoose90]

Hello Folks,

I am currently, and through unfortunate circumstances (partly my fault...See link to other thread),

http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/showthread.php?t=882984

in the market for a new bull barrel for my Ruger 10/22. I'm looking for any suggestions, advice, and info. from EXPERIENCED and SEASONED vets of the 10/22. I've owned my 10/22 for about 25 years, but until recently was unable to shoot it for the last 20...Sucks! I've installed my 10/22 in a ProMag Archangel NOMAD stock, which I love by the way...This is one of my favorite guns...Used to hunt rabbits with it back in the day and has never failed me, although I failed it a few days ago...Again, see above link...Anyway...Thanks in advance for your assistance...

cant go wrong with a kidd barrel

Green mountain is well thought of at rim fire central, at least it was a couple years ago when I got one.

+1 for green mountain

How does KIDD and Green Mountain compare with Tactical Solutions?

One thing to keep in mind, I've read that aftermarket barrels do not like bulk ammo. Can anyone confirm?

I've never heard this or experienced this. I'd shot 1000+ rounds of Federal, Remington, and Winchester Bulk from my previous (RIP) barrel with no issues.

Green mountain barrels are great ....for the price they are awesome....dont think they make the type you blew up...where KIDD and TS make the light sleeved ones like you HAD....

Ruger 22 bull barrel

Lookin like your RIP bull barrel is carbon fiber, Green mountain barrel are steel and it will be heavy, the Technical Solution, Whistle pig or Kidd will match the weight of your RIP barrel. just a thought.

My RIP barrel is Graphite. Pretty light weight. I'm not so much concerned about the weight as I am just gettin back in the game. And accuracy.

I bought a e.r. Shaw bull barrel for my bro's 10/22 on sale for $89 at midway seems nice. Haven't shot it yet though. Green mountain if you want to keep the cost down. Best in my opinion... KIDD!

[tanakasan]

KIDD or Fedderson are extremely accurate but pricey. The GM are very accurate and well priced. Buy the KIDD and if it does not shoot well, its probably operator error!

No one has mentioned Tactical Solutions. Is there a reason? I've been eye balling the X Ring barrel.

Personally, I'm a proponent of barrels with a stainless shank / breach.

What's the benefit of this?
