Aftermarket 10/22 barrel feeding issues

[suncoast]

I'm wondering if anyone can comment on if the aftermarket Green Mountain or Butler Creek barrels have feeding problems? I'm just doing up a 10/22 and am considering a Butler Creek or Green Mountain SS fluted I'm also thinking of one of the hammer forged SS ruger barrels, I understand that the Ruger will have a sporter chamber so will feed a lot better wheareas the other 2 barrels will have a tighter Bentz chamber. I'm looking for an all around 10/22 set up one that I can take to the range and do 1/2"-1" at 50 yards but still drag around the bush now and again. And use most ammo. Any advice???

I have heard nothing but good things about the GM barrel. The flutes would make it a bit lighter for the bush.

If you're not looking for a stubby barrel, the GM is the smart choice. Very cost effective.

Can't fire Stingers in any of the match barrels, other then that, no feeding issues. There can be extraction issues with the match chambers and live/dud rounds, but my GM barrel has been fine.
