Even a factory ruger 10/22 barrel did well enough to put food on the table for me. If the expensive aftermarket barrels make them shoot even better, that would be a neat trick. Yeah, high quality aftermarket barrels will tighten those groups, although some factory barrels shoot pretty good. After Ruger started with in house hammer forged barrels, performance improved. Some of those earlier outsourced barrels were pretty good, some weren’t. DF

I was gonna post these with my other reply but couldn't get postimage to cooperate. Mine is the sporter contour and the group is 5 CCI SV at 50 yards with the Trijicon 1-4 scope. It does better with Wolf and Eley but SV is good enough.

Just because I didn't see it mentioned. Bergara BMR steel or CF barrel. Mine has been pretty accurate with most SV ammunition to 50 yards. 25 yard 10 shot groups. 50 yards Aquila Super Extra standard velocity.

The teenagers were loving the Ruger American suppressed this morning.

My buddy has a new Ruger takedown that he uses suppressed. It is pretty accurate for what it is. I have not seen it malfunction either, which is a good sign. It's plenty accurate for a squirrel getter, and goes in a small pack, which is cool. With either of us shooting it, it will put 5 shots into 3/4" groups with cheap Federal automatch ammo. This is with a cheap red dot for an aiming device, so I don't know exactly how precise it is but preliminary shooting says it's a keeper.
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

I’m a fan of the Bergara BMR steel. Liked my .22 LR enough I picked up a Mag too. My sparrow is in ATF purgatory, will hopefully be soon. The easy trigger mod was done to both of mine and took triggers to the 18 oz range with no fuss.
