DAR-22 vs Ruger 10-22 VLEH?

DAR costs about the same but is a much nicer rifle as far as internal machining and finishing goes. Dlask barrels are good stuff and a cut above any Ruger OE barrel. I'd go DAR over VLEH any day. Factory ruger internals look coarsely sandblasted VS Dlasks smooth machining and Dlask offers tons of options that Ruger doesn't.
 
That's what I was thinking. The DAR is pretty much the same price as the VLEH so I was curious if it had more value, especially with the finishing on the trigger and bolt.
 
couple years back you couldn't find a VLEH in Canada to save your life and that was of course what i was in the market for.
so after searching and doing some research i decided to just make my own.
and how did i go about it?
i made a DAR22.

now that i have a DAR22 and i see first hand the build and the fit and finish im happy that is the route i went.
like mentioned above the fit and finish are definitely a level up from the Ruger.
im not sure how much better Dlask's barrel would be from the VLEH as the Rugers barrel is a nice barrel being cold forged and such, but the Dlask barrels are nice kit. but where you really notice the difference is the upgraded receiver and the upgraded internals that are made to tighter specs the the mass produced rugers.
plus the barrels are threaded so you can have fun with putting pretty compensators on your guns to give them some nice looks.
