Bought my son a 10/22 when he was 6, shot like crap. Estate sale picked up laminated SS International. Got it cheap as new, 3x9 decent scope. Did not expect much. Put a Vol.....trigger group in. Took barrel off lapped with about 200 strokes of JB paste. Had it at plinking range, poor rest. CCI HI Vel. Win target, Rem target. It was shooting dime size at 50 ft. I was amazed. Long stock stiffen barrel? Might bed it. Any experts
