So i'm trying to decide if i should buy a 10/22 vleh or a base model and build it myself.

The VLEH already has a larger diameter target barrel and a hogue overmoulded stock with a bipod. Pretty much everything i would do to a 10/22 anyways.

They seem to come in at around $500 which i'm thinking is cheaper than buying a new stock and dlask barrel and bipod too. It will also save me some time which i really don't have much of right now.

Which route would you guys go
 
Well since no one else is gonna chime in here ill add my two pennies...

Around here a new 10/22 carbine is about $239. I just ordered the Hogue stock and a 16.5" .920 barrel from dlask for $287.69 taxes and shipping included. You can find a comparable bipod for under $50..... So unless u can find a used donor for cheaper, that puts us at roughly $577....

BUT, here's what you'll get.... Youll have a presumably much more accurate shooting barrel, threads to add a "flash hider", suppressor, or just a thread cap if that's what you like.... And best of all.... You can say "I built that"

Good luck with whatever you choose :)
 
in my experience the heavy barrels don't make any difference.

In my experience, pretty much any aftermarket barrel with a closer tolerance chamber, regardless of the contour, will be more accurate than the factory barrel.

The only issue I'm having with the flask barrel doesn't like cci blazers and I have 7k rounds of it sitting here.

Dlask will chamber it with a sporter chamber that will accept CCI (not stingers). He told me it will group under 1 inch at 50 yards with cheap ammo, better with match. Not as good as the Bentz chamber, it's a trade off.

That depends on what you're after with regards to performance. the OP never specified if he's after extreme precision, reliability, or both?

Not gonna shoot competitions with it, more of a plinker and a fun gun than needing .5" groups at 100 yards. Don't want 7" groups but don't need minuscule.
