Threaded match barrel for a 10/22

[DizzyJ]

I've done a bit of searching but haven't exactly found what I'm looking for.

Looking to possibly build a 10/22 or use an existing one for suppressed target shooting. Threaded bull barrel is fine.

I've read Kidd, TAC Sol and Volquartzen are top notch. Is there a huge price difference between them? If so, does the price difference give a better grouping build?

Are there different thread pitch's for suppressed .22s?

Then I suppose I'll probably have to look at stocks too. Never ends I suppose.

All ears!
Thanks in advance!

All threaded 22LR barrels (handgun and rifle) I have except for one CZ 452 are threaded 1/2x28. I don't have much recent experience on threaded 10/22 barrels; I haven't owned a 10/22 in some time.

My Kidd barrel was an absolute lemon. I have a volquartsen that shoots very well. (unless I hand it to my daughters, then it jams)

I have a newish TAC Sol 16" barrel that is fine. Set up with a muzzle can and NV. It is neither extraordinarily accurate nor inaccurate. It has functioned well so far, mostly Minimags or CCI Std Vel, maybe 500 rds. I've also run Eley Biathlon and SK Pistol Match and some PMC Scoremaster, didn't cycle reliably with the SK. I settled on Eley Biathlon for best accuracy but CCI Std Vel was nearly as good. About 3/5 hits on 4" steel at 200 yds sometimes more sometimes less. Has settled the accounts of a few nutria out to 100 yds. Complete satisfaction so far, about 3-4 months in and probably 500 rds or so thru it.

feddersen has some of the best barrels on the market.

My Kidd barrels shoot great, feddersen barrels are also a very good barrel, nothing Tac sol makes is match grade.

I am a fan of any Tactical Solutions products their machining is incredible ! I purchased a threaded upper for my Ruger standard pistol and could not see that it was threaded the thread protector is almost invisible .

Don't expect guaranteed accuracy for any barrel without bedding the barrel in the stock. The 10/22 action without bedding does not securely fit in most stocks if you want to float the barrel.

Bull steel barrels are heavy and don't meet max weight requirements for the matches we shoot.

The most accurate 22 barrel I have is a aluminum sleeved Volquartsen. It was terrible when just placed in a Fajen stock. After bedding the action and first couple inches of the barrel in the stock, it became the most accurate 22LR barrel we have. Their aluminum sleeved barrels are a custom order item now. I like how they leave a long stainless shank at the breach end on their sleeved barrels. Kidd and others don't on lightweight sleeved bull barrels and there is no solid steel area to bed their barrel.

I have a free floated carbon wrapped volquartsen that is ridiculously accurate. I also would have a heck of a time removing it from the receiver. It is in a chassis and it's an excellent shooter.
