I'd like to add a more accurate rifle than my standard Ruger 10/22 [#1151] for target work to my collection.
I haven't heard any glowing reports on the bull barrel Ruger 10/22 "Target" models [#1121 & 1262] or the "Light Varmint" models [#1234, 1235 & 1237]. Other than a heavier barrel and a reportedly "light" trigger, what do the T and LV models offer in increased accuracy ? Do they also have Bentz chambers like after market barrels ? Are the "Target" triggers a different design or just lighter springs ?
I'm trying to decide if it is worth while to go with a Ruger T or LV model or spend a little more to buy a low end 10/22, add a VQ target hammer, get a .920" barrel stock, and add a Green Mountain or E R Shaw barrel.
