I have owned this Ruger 10/22 since the early 80's and lately I felt one of us was getting too old to hit the target as effectively as we used to.
Since the Ruger has more rounds through it than I could count I was blaming it.
Midway USA to the rescue:
1.) E.R. Shaw Barrel Ruger 10/22 22 Long Rifle .920 Diameter 1 16 Twist 18
2.) Hogue OverMolded Rifle Stock Ruger 10/22 .920 Barrel Channel
The ER Shaw barrel had some good reviews so I took the plunge.
Stock parts:
Here is a shot after the upgrade:

Tough to shoot in the wind today but I was pleased with the results considering this was with no rest. Next will be a new scope and decent sling.
