Help me out here with a Ruger 10/22

[Dr. HK]

I have an old ruger 10/22 with gray wood, and stainless receiver, barrel. I am wanting to buy a bull barrel more for the looks than anything else.

If I bought a bull barrel, would I have to modify or cut the stock? Or would it just fit right in?

what barrels would you recommend?

That @Gunbuffer guy probably knows the answer to this one...

Unless you already have a .920 diameter barrel installed it will require a new stock or you will need to modify the channel on your existing stock.

What do you plan on using the rifle for? That will go a long ways in determining which barrel to recommend.

Oh I just target shoot. I never liked the barrels on a 10/22. The bull barrels just look nice.

They look nice and most shoot well, but they're also heavy and unbalanced unless you go with a lightweight model. If you're shooting from a bench and not offhand, this won't matter. Check out Kidd and Volquartsen...you can't go wrong with either. Tactical Solutions barrels are light and fairly affordable, but I won't recommend them as their breech faces are aluminum.

Ya gotta look cool doin it, afterall

I put a tactical solutions on mine and it is really light weight and also accurate. Luke is right on needing a .920 stock.

Put that action into a Nordic AR platform stock and you will be the cool guy at the range. The barrel will be free floated.

Don't forget to look over at Kidd's stuff. Finest triggers you can put in a 10-22.
