Aftermarket barrels & accuracy
« on: November 13, 2009, 06:11:18 PM »
A friend had Volquartson (sp?)  rebarrel his High Standard .22 and he seems happy with the accuracy.  Has anyone tried aftermarket barrels for Ruger Mark I-III, Buckmarks, or others?

My Trailside does well with Greentags but the Buckmark needs some help to get under an inch at 25 yards.

Vote them all out, EVERY election!
 
Does anyone remember the scene from "Quigley Down Under" showing the aborigines lined up on the skyline as far as you could see?   That needs to be US!

some are fabulously accurate.  However, a standard Mark III target factory barrel shoots way better than all but the best shooters can discern.  What might be a better buy is a good trigger (half the price), and some Eley practice ammo.  Even the green box stuff will amaze.

I agree completely.  The Ruger semi-auto's have very accurate barrels.  What is lacking is a good trigger.  Invest in that and you will love the results!  44 Man
