I've had this rifle for a long time. I think I bought it in 98' or 99'. It stayed stock for many years wearing a cheap 3×9 scope. It wasn't a bad gun, just plain.
My first modification was an oversized bolt handle. A Tac-Star stock followed. Next was a BX-25 trigger and then a polymer buffer.
Last week, I found a Green Mountain bull barrel in the classifieds. I snagged it up.
I got to shoot a few groups today with it. Once I got the scope zeroed @ 50 yards, I loaded up some SV CCI. My 5 shot group was about an inch but 3 shots were in a 1/2". I was happy.
I tried to shoot it off hand but it's pretty heavy. I've got a Marlin and a Savage for critter control so the 10/22 will be a bench gun. I might end up upgrading the scope but that will be it. I'm happy.
The group and the rifle.
