Ok, just picked up a Ruger 10/22 the other day. Original plan was to get a factory model with the black stock with stainless barrel and receiver and then fix it up keeping the black/stainless look. But I ended up with a black stock, black receiver, & stainless barrel. Really didn't want the black receiver, but for the price I decided to get it. Now I'm looking at getting an OD green Hogue stock for it and putting a bull barrel on it. I've narrowed it down to Green Mountain, but can't decide between 5 that I found in the limited stock that dealers seem to have right now. Gun will mostly be for plinking/target shooting. These are the 5:
1. 16" blued with threaded muzzle 2. 18" blued, fluted, drilled & tapped for Volq. scope base 3. 18" blued, fluted, drilled & tapped for Volq scope base, black Volq base attached, AND threaded muzzle 4. 20" blued, fluted 5. 20" matte OD green, fluted I like #3 and #5 (has me really curious how the matte OD green barrel would look in that OD green stock with the black receiver), but they are probably a bit more than I really should spend considering I still need to buy a scope for it. #1, 2, & 4 are all about the same price. What do you guys think? |

Get a Beyer barrel with the shroud for use with a can or a normal
16" threaded for a can, no need for a longer barrel. He will make the barrel the way you like with flutes or even diamond flutes |
| Well I guess I've narrowed it down to 2 now, both bull barrels with threaded muzzles. Trying to decided between a Green Mountain 18" fluted that is drillled/tapped with the Volq. scope base or an ER Shaw 16" solid barrel. Not sure what the difference in weight and feel would be. About $50 difference in price by the time I add the thread protector and extended receiver scope base with the Shaw barrel. If I win the lotto and can afford a can one day, I suppose the shorter barrel would be a little more balanced even though 2 inches doesn't seem that much. |

Average is 1 lb per 6 inches of bull barrel for steel. A Beyer bull barrel is 1 lb at 16 inches. |
