A high-quality, precision-crafted replacement component designed for the Ruger 10/22 rifle, this type of barrel is typically manufactured from stainless steel and held to tighter tolerances than standard factory barrels. These enhanced barrels often feature different rifling profiles and tighter chamber dimensions, contributing to improved accuracy and consistency. Examples include barrels with Bentz, Green Mountain, or other specialized chamber designs.
Accuracy enhancements offered by such upgrades are significant for competitive target shooting, small game hunting, or general marksmanship practice. The inherent accuracy potential of the Ruger 10/22 platform is often limited by the factory barrel. Upgrading to a precision barrel allows shooters to realize the rifle’s full potential, resulting in tighter shot groups and improved long-range performance. This pursuit of accuracy has driven the development of aftermarket components for the Ruger 10/22 since its introduction in 1964, establishing a rich history of customization and performance enhancement.
