The best mods for the bang I have completed are the following:
1: Bolt buffer mod. Mine has the blue tuffer buffer. Calms down the rifle nicely.
2: Rear cleaning hole mod. Drilled into receiver. Never have to remove barrel and reset torque on barrel v block. Provides consistency in this action design.
3: Bedding. First bedded forward of the magazine to 1" of barrel using JB weld. Then placed forward pressure point on wood stock (business card thickness). Honed out barrel band for no contact. Made the most improvement of all mods. This is a first do before anything IMO.
4: Trigger. Mine has very little to no creep so maybe I got a good one from the get go. Did a little polishing of metal surfaces and that goes along way here. Cannot comment on aftermarket stuff.
From these mods, my rifle went from a mediocre 1.25" at 20m to bug holes thereafter with CCI standards on a stock stainless barrel. Also saw visual accuracy improvements on other brands of ammo. So managing barrel harmonics will still get you the best bang for your efforts when thinking of 10/22 mods. Total cost $10 in the JB weld and my own time....priceless.
