mind to explain further ? I don't want to spend 150$ bucks on a sporter barrel and end up spending 300$ more on an other one after because the GM is no better than the factory one.
 
I have one in my 10/22 which will shoot just over 1/2" at 50 yards with Federal Gold Medal ammo off a Harris bipod and sandbags.

If you want to be sure, buy a Kidd barrel with its 1/2" at 50 yards guarantee.

That barrel is $168 USD on their website and they don't ship to Canada.You'll have to order one from Bits of Pieces.By the time you pay the exchange and shipping you'll be well over $200.
 
Had this one for a looong time, it was under $100US at the time for the 20" SS fluted heavy bsrrel, OEM Ruger target barrel was dog#### compared to this....shoots really good.
 
I have a GM 18.5" stainless fluted, not the sporter and it shoots awesome, not quite as good as my Kidd ULW but real close. I wouldnt hesitate to buy another GM barrel for the price if i did another build.
 
I had that barrel and really liked it. It balanced well and shot on par with a friend's volquartsen which he paid alot more for. Waaay better than the factory barrel.

Do these GM barrels cycle and shoot all types of ammo well?

this one yes, some of their other bull barrel will only shoot premium ammo as the chamber is tighter tolerance

The OEM Ruger barrel....shot pretty bad compared to this GM. I ponied up the extra $$ at the time (15 years ago or so) for the "target" version, supposedly a better trigger, and the heavy hammer forged barrel. Still had to replace all the trigger guts with VQ, and the barrel, plus a few other minor mods to turn it into a keeper.
One of the best mods though was to radius the rear of the bolt... improved reliability and increased accuracy considerably. With the GM barrel I've run a brick through it using BC 25 round mags (when it was legal of course) without a single stoppage. That was with bulk CCI Blazer too
 
I have a 16.5 semi heavy sporter barrel non-fluted and its is the most accurate barrel I have used for my Ruger build. I purchased it about 7 years ago thought so not sure how new production is but from what I see at rimfirecentral who you should also check out they are just as accurate.
