Most acurate, lightweight, affordable 10-22 target barrel

[IndyBeerman]

Looking for everybodies opinion on a lightweight, affordable and accurate barrel for my Ruger 10-22 Race Rifle.

While I love the factory barrel, I want something that way lighter and will shoot some good groups without breaking the bank.

So let's see the recommendations!

check out whistlepig gunbarrel co. funny name i know but absolutely lightest and best shooting you can get. i've got barrels from lilja, douglas, kidd, volquartsen, green mountain, and the wp will stay right in there for accuracy with all of them.

here is link.......http://www.wpgbc.com/.....they are all aluminum with a stainless center.

they have same problem as everybody else right now with keeping up with demand.....daryll

Have you shot your stock rifle barrel with high quality match grade (eley) ammo off a soild gun rest?
You maybe surprised how good they are.
Of course you must have a good scope with ++++power.

Gun rest? Scope? You need to get to an Appleseed, my friend. Learn to shoot 1/4" groups with a sling and iron sights with a bone-stock 10/22.

Volquartsen carbon fiber barrel.

Best there is IMO.

Yes I have using my Caldwell lead sled.

Is a Mueller APV 8.5-25x44 good enough scope?

I guessed you missed me asking about a lightweight barrel , I just don't have room to lug around my lead sled when I want to go shooting and will be doing it prone or standing, that's a lot of steel hanging out there weighing it down.

I was thinking about the Magnum Research Lite Graphite/Carbon Barrel weighing 13.04 ounces, 17 inches in length and 43% cooler to shoot extened periods.

I shot Rifleman on my first Appleseed with a Magnum Lite MLR22AT with that barrel and a Mueller APV scope. My rifle is still WAY better than I am.

I shoot dime sized groups at 75 yards indoors with this barrel.
I also use an airgun scope with adjustable parralax as you can see.

I have seriously been considering doing that with my son. That is specifically why I am searching for a nice takedown 10/22 with the fiber optics sights.

If you really want the same result for the least $, msg nemohunter over on Rimfire Central. He has set back and rechambered several bbls for me and does outstanding work. He also will recrown and hand lap the bbl at your request.

+1 on the Whistlepig's. We have been very happy with the one on my daughter's all Kidd (other than barrel and stock) 10/22.
