Jim c Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 Been looking at them and seen the tactical one with heavy hammer forged contour barrel. Just wondering does anyone know if a moderator can be fitted to them. Cheers jim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tharsus Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Is it the barley twist barrel same as the target model? if so it can be screw cut no problem, had mine chopped to 12" barrel and a thread protector made from a off cut of the barrel.

NathanM Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Is it the target tactical? Awesome gun, a semi custom ruger that's feels great and is put together by Ruger, so cycles flawlessly! And mine came with a 16"? Screw cut barrel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bullet boy Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 Hi Jim If it's a 1/2 UNF thread like mine I use the SAK mod on my Ruger 10/22. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim c Posted June 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 I just wanna see what they look like with the thick barrel and a mod on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NathanM Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 (edited) Sorry can't at the minute as I'm away. I found this on the Internet though, and although it's not the same barrel, it is heavy so gives you a general idea... Oh and for what it's worth, I think mine with an SAK on it does look pretty nice, probably better than the one in the photo! Picture doesn't seem to be working...

Jim c Posted June 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 Ok cheer mate were did you buy yours from ? What is the advantage of heavy barrel ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NathanM Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 I'm up North near Newcastle, so at Bradford Stalker, I was lucky as they had one in stock! To be honest with a .22 not too much... With a bigger calibre they're supposed to stop the barrel heating up as much, so they maintain accuracy, but with a .22 thats not a real problem. The reason I went for it is that with the hogue stock it does really feel sturdy, I thought the normal rugers felt a bit too small for me. Oh and although the heavyness of the barrel shouldn't make too much difference, it does have a semi match chamber which is good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim c Posted June 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 So Heavy barrel isn't much of an advantage if I'm rabbit shooting and carrying it about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NathanM Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 For you, probably not really... But the factory ruger is not the most accurate machine, should be ok for rabbits if you don't push the distance too much. Have a feel of one before you buy though, although it's nice and light for carrying, you might want an aftermarket stock still! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim c Posted June 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 Yeah been looking and another stock is readily available. The one in private sales caught my eye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay222 Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 No accuracy advantage but possibly better balance depending on what stock you have, my 10-22 has a heavy volquartsen barrel on it and that balances nicely and is very accurate. No mod on mine at the moment though as it has a 13/16?? Thread on it but it's not really a problem for me if I want to go quieter I take my cz452 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
