I am wanting to increase the accuracy of my 10/22. My local gun/gunsmith store recommended that I bed the barrel and action. Has anybody done this? If so is better to bed the barrel only, bed the action area only, or bed both the barrel and action?

1) out of the box with good or particular gun-compatible ammo;
2) 100 yards with the requisite gunsmithing. Thanks

Yes, the CZ 452 series is in .22LR. I understand they're about to discontinue those and replace them with a new, improved version.silvertip":2pk7k87r said:By the way, is the CZ bolt action .22 rimfire? Also, what's the approximate cost. Thanks again.
Take the barrel band off the stock.silvertip":e5ehbkup said:Thanks, Enigma. One thing though, what is meant by removing the barrel band?
My rifle has the mods you mention, trigger, bedding, heavy barrel, BR style stock and 4X12 scope. Wolf M/T will do around 3/8" @ 50 yds and inexpensive Amer Eagle 38 gr HP group 1.5" @ 125 yds on a dead calm day. I shopped for parts on sale and have roughly $150 invested. I already had the 10/22 carbine and scope of course. It's a little heavy to hunt with but accuracy is outstanding, scoring consistent 235+ on the rimfire BR target. My build and results are not uncommon, and there's plenty of dope at the Rimfire Central forum, including CZ :wink: FWIW, Dennissilvertip":2fer4zjo said:Thanks, Snake45. I think you've read me correctly, but for clarity sake, by "the requisite gunsmithing" I meant things like a trigger job, bedding action and perhaps barrel, and finally, a match grade barrel.
I'm sure it's been achieved by someone, somewhere, and yes it is quite a feat.silvertip":1m5uyuxd said:It appears to me so far that sub MOA at 100 yards is not to be had, or at least quite a feat?
Thanks again.
