For shooting off a bench the bull barrels are okay but for hunting a good standard barrel, in my opinion, is best. For the 22 lr a bull barrel is not really needed but a quality barrel is.
They do look nice on some rifles don't they?

i dont hunt anymore so i am turning into one of those bench guys that complain the groups arent tiny enough!

Nice purchase, Billy. They'll work for you and that's all that matters.

Hey Billy,
Thought I would show you mine just for Grins...

those fluted rascals are sharp lookin!

Mooseman684 · 03-20-2007, 10:17 AM

Yes they are, and a little lighter in weight than a full Bull barrel...

Just to clear up Billy that I was not putting your rifle down. I have owned a few 10/22's and other 22lr's and other rimfires and have found that some think that a bull barrel is the touch stone for accuracy. I have found instead that a accurate barrel can be any type and the ones in a more standard shape are better for carrying/hunting than one with a bull barrel.
Yours is very nice looking rifle and the bull barrel does set it off.
Good luck with it.

oh dont worry bout it i didnt take it like that at all! happy shootin!

this is a better photo. at first i didn't like the wooden stock but it was made for this extra fat bbl. and it seems to be floated the way they should be. but what do i know? its firmly attached to the receiver but doesn't touch the bbl. it is 1.005 dia.

billy · 03-27-2007, 07:56 AM

update im going to bed this receiver . i was told by a man that really knows these guns(god i love having smart friends!) that the three major things for accuracy are barrel,bedding and bullets. he has demonstrated the play between my stock and action to me. ive got a real nice bbl. i know what bullets it likes, so this is next!

i am glass bedding this on sat. ang installing a pillar truncheon to remove any wood compession when installing /removing the stock.

also drilling a cleaning hole in rear of the receiver

billy · 04-03-2007, 06:30 PM

update

the pillar was machined from a 3/8 to 1/2 in.brass plumbing adaptor

If you really want to go whole hog check out WWW.RINFIRECENTRAL.COM for a way to add a receiver hold down screw to the rear of the receiver, helps to stabilize the receiver with the bedding.

billy · 04-04-2007, 07:12 AM

i thought about that but have absolutely no movement so i dont need to.

.22guy · 04-04-2007, 12:21 PM

It's rimfirecentral.com, not rin. But anyways, stay away from that site if you value your money! You'll find so many ways to upgrade that 10/22. I've got over 350 in mine, and I was given the rifle for free!

billy · 04-07-2007, 04:11 PM

oh boy! i got my 1st 10 shot 1 hole today!!!! @ 25 yds. that bedding was the ticket

with practice i bet i can cut that in half.

Woot!woot!

Us "old guys" have a problem with "waving around" when we're trying to make those chickens, pigs, turkeys & rams "lay down." I switched to a Butler Creek 20" x .920 bull barrel. Yup, I don't wave... as fast.. but I still wave. I switched to my lightweight 16" stock Ruger barrel, "floating" in the Butler Creek stock (designed for the .920 barrel). The stock 16" barrel is only held by the 2 hold down allen bolts. My gun shoots fine, I just "wave around: & do pretty good, if I can "time" the shot so I shoot, as I "wave by the target." ...works for me... what works for you?

ArkansasHunter · 05-26-2007, 08:29 PM

billy thats some excellent shoot'en there ! I guess we can call you a Marksman now. Congradulations...A.H

billy · 05-26-2007, 08:49 PM

thanks AH. yes i just wait until the target (wanders ) into my sights and then let em have it!
