Overall Great Barrel, Very Pleased
Just a quick FYI. Brownells has this barrel listed at weighing 2.75 lbs. In fact, it does not weigh that. It is 3.10 lbs. My only gripe is it's a very heavy barrel. But that could be both a good and a bad thing. It's very well built. Very well machined. Fit was perfect. No hammering or pounding it in to place. A little bit of antiseize and a few pushes and small twists and it went right on. Don't hesitate to purchase if you're looking for an upgrade to your ruger 10/22.
Accurate
I use this barrel for 100 yard plinking and it is very accurate. It also looks great in my Boyd's tacticool stock. I will say that it is fairly heavy and there are lighter options out there. This is one of the more affordable bull barrels you can get for the 10/22. I would recommend that buyers get a v-block with this barrel to prevent barrel sag in the 10/22's receiver. Mine has not sagged, but the heavy weight is concerning to me
G.M 18
Recently installed Green Mountain 18",1/16, .920 dia., blued,non-fluted on my 10-22. Mounted on Hogue overmold stock. Used Wiegand Combat mount with F/M Optics 6-9/40mm adjustable objective scope, with Weaver Med. Q-D rings. Used Laser boresighter to get close to zero and shot away. Set up holds 3/8" - 10 shot groups @ 50' on a carpet covered bench. Have not shot from bags yet as this was set up in range at shop I work in. Feel it is good value for product. Would recommend to any of my customers wanting to "Step-up" a 10-22. Considered many other barrels before deciding to go with this one.
Green Mountain BB
Great for the money! Needed some break in time. had some jam/cycling issues to start. after 100 rounds it worn in and it was PERFECT after that. No issues at all. Outstanding accuracy at 100+ yards. Able to hit rabbits very easy at 100+ yards with Bushnell red dot.
Fantastic Accurat Barrel
This is a good barrel for the money. Excellent accuracy and fits well into a bull barrel relief stock. I used this to build an extrememly accurate custom 10/22 and got better results than expected. I was a little sceptical at first because of the low cost of this barrel,,but once i started putting rounds down range onto paper, I was very happy with the results. Combine this with a Jard or Volquartzen trigger in a custom stock and you will be happy too.
