I plan on getting a Ruger 10/22 soon.The 10/22 is a stock 10/22 stainless with birch wood stock. I plan on putting a green mountain stainless fluted bull barrel on it. Other things im gonna put on it is a laminated stock(not a thumbhole), nikon 3-9x40 scope, and a trigger kit that will lighten the trigger pull to a match grade 2.5-3.0 pounds. Sound like a good setup??? Any other thoughts???

Sounds like a good set up to me. Personally I'd get the stock I want, go with the Nikon scope and then test the factory barrel with a variety of ammo before replacing it. This wouldn't apply if it's the contour, weight and looks you're going for, but if the issue is accuracy, I've had some very accurage factory barrels that really don't need replacing. My old 10/22 international will keep 5 Power Points in less than 1" at 100 yards. All I've done to it is replace the springs. One other point to keep in mind; if (when) the time comes to sell or trade the rifle for something else you'll be lucky to reclaim 50 cents on the dollar for the extra's you put into it.
Have fun with it. Good luck.
Glass bed the action & bbl.
These are pretty modest upgrades and I think the most expensive part is the $24.00 Volq trigger. Each addresses a better handling or better accuracy issue.
Sounds like alot of BS for a kid to be doing..[:D]
why? i got a job paying $5-$6 an hour.
And anyone who can spring for a nice Nikon scope can spend a few $$$ for parts.
