DB>VH>Maybe you're not the guy to ask -- since you've sunk a lot of effort in
DB>VH>your 10/22 -- but answer me honestly:  Which goodies and modifications
DB>VH>would you pick, and in which order, if you wanted accuracy at a low
DB>VH>cost?
DB>        I know that you didn't ask me, but here is my 2 cents worth:
DB>        Besides polishing the action, I'd buy one box of every brand of
DB>        .22 ammo that I could get my hands on.  Try them all from the
DB>        bench at 100 yds. Buy a case of the same lot of the one that
DB>        gives the best group.  With proper selection you should get some
DB>        that will group less than 1 inch.  You shouldn't need to buy the
DB>        super expensive stuff either.  I have gotten less than 1" groups
DB>        with the brass case Russian Junior brand.  I currently use
DB>        Winchester T-22 for my silhoutte shooting.
That's pretty close to my approach -- spend money for a trigger job, a
scope, and ammo.  Heavy barrels and other goodies are for later -- when
you know you can shoot well enough to justify them.

DB>        I have a bushnell banner 10 X 40 with wind drift and bullet drop
DB>        compensator dials on each of my silhoutte rifles and they work
DB>        just fine.
Glad to hear that -- a recommendation for a scope (or any other piece of
gear) from a man who has used it extensively is valuable information.
I mostly have Burris and Weaver.  They work for me, and my motto is if
it ain't broke, don't fix it.
