It's been a year or more, probably two years but I found a beat up 10/22 ss carbine at a pawnshop for 175, it won't shoot any ammo worth a crap. Went out yesterday and shot it alongside my Cooper 57 at 100, Eley Club, different versions of CCI, Winchester, Federal including 711B, SK Standard+ and Stingers.

Five shot groups 3"-6" vs 1"-2" with the Cooper.

It's been hammered, barrel is beat up and scratched, same with the stock, I figure I paid 175 for an action worth maybe 50 bucks.

Salvage or flip?

If I salvage, I have no interest in a barrel weighing more than a factory sporter, so a .900" barrel would have to be carbon fiber or aluminum wrapped, it would be threaded.

Light was attached for a photo only, Leupold 2x7 in Burris Signature rings.
