I put a 24 inch stainless sporter weight barrel, a walnut sporter stock and a new trigger on my Ruger 10/22 and turned that rifle into what it should have been all along. It will shoot 1/2 inch groups at 50 yards on a regular basis instead of the consistent 1 1/2 inch groups it would shoot as it came from the factory and is still easy to carry. I have had it set up like this for probably over 15 years and see no need to waste time trying to find a better 22. For my use, my 10/22 is now as good as it gets.
