Great barrel, check your screws This barrel is exactly what I was looking for: the accuracy and stability of a bill barrel without being scoped and equipped with fiber optic sights. The shot grouping on a 10/22 is excellent. A bull barrel does add to the carry weight, but is well worth it, and this barrel build is pretty affordable IMO.

Do check the elevation/windage screws on the rear sight when you receive it; the sight is well installed, but the adjustables were loose on the mount and it's taken time to sight in properly.

Great gift I was talking to my son a couple months ago and he told me that he wanted to change out the factory barrel on his stainless Ruger 10 22 and he wanted to go with a bull barrel. I started researching and came across the Green Mountain website. After showing it to my son, he said he really liked the looks of the 18 inch fluted barrel with fire sights. I filed it away for future use. After Thanksgiving I made the decision to make the barrel his Christmas present and placed the order. After some confusion with the ups delivery, I got the package. Upon opening I was very impressed with the apparent quality I was looking at. Tomorrow is Christmas so I am anxious to to see if he is as impressed as I was. If so, I imagine he will make a hasty return home to get his rifle and we will be making the switch and doing some test firing. Looking forward to a great day.

Great barrel; looks good, shoots better I put this barrel on a 10/22 I recently acquired and it beats my expectations. I am getting 1.5" 10 shot groups at 100 yds, and I haven't even found the best ammunition or scope for it
