I've always thought the barrel band on the 10/22 was a bad feature on an otherwise terrific design.
You can relieve them, as described above, so they don't contact the barrel, and that may help.
On my 10/22, I did relieve the barrel band, and glass bed the V block area. Then I got a decent trigger on it, and installed a good scope on good mounts. None of the stamped tip off crap mounts! I discovered with a decent trigger pull and good optics, mine shoots quite well - well enough for any small game I might hunt with it. So, I've never tried after market barrels or stocks.
