My best friend helped me one weekend with a major home upgrade so to thank him I modified his pristine 10/22 deluxe.
I used a Green Mountain tapered barrel in his original walnut stock. No barrel band to contend with. I glass bedded the rifle and replaced the hammer and sear in the trigger to lighten it. When I sighted it in I got 10 shot group of Wolf Match ammo roughly the size of a nickel at 50 yds.
The tapered barrels are a nice compromise between a bull and a standard. They don't feel heavy but are plenty stiff.
