I am going to be building up another 10/22lr. I am wondering what is the best barrel to go with. I am talking in the $150 and under catagory.

Thanks

Ray

    I am looking at the new carbon fiber barrels. I really like the new Butler Creek (I think) that has fiber optic sights and utilizes the standard barrel channel.

    In the price range you are quoting I'd sugget you check out Midway's Adams & Benett barrels.

    Kimber makes a nice fluted one in stainless. I bought 2 of these, was going to make up a pair of target .22's for my Granddad and I. Sadly I only got one finished.

    in the 150 price range i'd go with a Green Mountain ss fluted in 18'' or 20''.

    I've always followed my father's advice: he told me, first to always keep my word and, second, to never insult anybody unintentionally. If I insult you, you can be damn sure I intend to. And, third, he told me not to go around looking for trouble.

    Well, I think that this will blow the budget but.... I have found the one that I want. Volquartsen Custom Barrel Ruger 10/22 22 Long Rifle 920 Diameter 1 in 16" Twist 20-1/2" "Snake" Fluted Stainless Steel with Compensator. It is only over twice what I was wanting to spend and my wife wants me to up grade mine so she can have what I take off. I will just have to save up for a little while longer for the barrel.

    Thanks for all the help

    Take a look at this. I've used them and they are good barrels. Not Clark, not Volguartsen ... but super good value, match chambered barrels that are mfg. for Midway by a top line company.
