I never had much luck with a 10/22 (have tried to bed them and float the barrels as well as other tricks). However a friend sent me a Valquartzen trigger and barrel kit along with Hougue stock and his standard 10/22 to fit it all to.

I had to drive the barrel into the receiver with a rubber mallet! It was a little scarry because I did not know how I was going to get it out if it didn't go in all the way. Fortunately it did.

To my surprise this thing shot MOA at 50 yards (1/2" groups) with RWS Subsonic HP ammo. Qute a squirrel getter.

It certainly aint a Win. 52 but it sure beats any of my own 10/22s.

Havent tried the other barrels on the market so I cannot say.
