Accurizing a 10/22

Post by AJMD429 »

.
This got me thinking I need to get my several 10/22 rifles out someday and see which ones are the most accurate.

I wonder how much just swapping bolts between guns to vary the headspace might do…

The best thing for a 10/22 is bed the barrel channel and let the action float. I did that with a Shilen .920" bull barrel and it would keep 10 inside a penny at 50 yards with CCI Green Tag. Like a fool I was trying some Russian subsonic and had a squib during a mag dump and ruined the barrel by putting a ring in it just at the forend. I've since replaced the barrel with a carbon fiber wrapped, it's no where near as accurate.

I built one for squirrel hunting, then NRL 22 with different parts over the years, from the 80s when I bought it. Volkerson Match Barrel, Trigger pack, threaded for a suppressor, and took it LUPA to have it matched to a .22 LR round, and it gets 1/2 inch at 100 yards from their chart, and won me a few matches in my age group before I stopped shooting.
