Who have the best value in a Ruger 10/22 Bull barrel.
I really like the Tactical Solutions (light weight)
The Green Mtn is very well priced.
 
"Best value" can be pretty subjective, depends on your use, expectations, needs etc.. Rimfire Central can be a really good source of info.
 
There's a lot of good ones, one of the great things about the 10/22. Kidd has been my favorite, never disappointed with his barrels in any way.
 
I have a Green Mtn on one and it doesn't shoot that well and I just got a slightly used Adams & Bennett that shoots very well , even shoots CCI stingers into one hole @50 yds. I guess you would get a good one for sure spending more money on like a Shilen, or Volquartsen....but since I recently got a KIDD , I would say cant go wrong with KIDD !

I've been through a lot of 10/22 barrels.

The original Stainless Hammer forged target bull barrel is not bad. Even individual regular sporter barrels can be good.

Shillen
Kidd
Clark
Magnum Research

Then you can get super spendy

My sole remaining 10/22 is a race gun so it just doesn't matter.
 
I had a Green Mtn. barrel on my 10-22. All it did was add weight!! The stock barrel shot better.
 
I've got two green mountain barrels, one shoot great, the other, so so. Guess you have to take your chances at that price point
 
I purchased a pre-built 10/22 that has a 20" green Mountain on it andoesn't like any gun once I found which bulletshould it likes it shoots very well at 50 yards. I really haven't shot it much other than 50 yards though . I haven't shot any expensive matched ammo yet but it shot 36gr. Federal value pack the best. I didn't measure the group but I'd say 10 shots under 1/2" minus a flyer that I blame on myself for rushing.
 
Mc Gowen was the only barrel maker that would make what I wanted. Back then they were cheap , order time was 16 weeks, and my barrel has shot very well. I just wish I would have gotten it threaded for a brake. I get just enough recoil to blur the target.

Love me some Green Mountain barrels have 5 of them and all of them are tack drivers. So accurate you may get bored shooting through the same hole all day.
 
I have a SS fluted GM on my 10/22 and it shoots fantastic with Green Tag. I went through 'a lot' of different ammo before settling on this. Am now in the process to see if the CCI SV shoots as good. Lots cheaper................
