Re: 10/22 stock options for a .9ish barrel

I saw zacks tactical stock, but Im not really going for an ar trainer with this 10/22. </div></div>
I have a 10/22 with a .920 stainless fluted sitting in a Hogue Overmolded stock. The stock looks cool and I like the "grippiness" of it, but it is sort of "flexy". Still, on a calm day I have shot sub 1/2" groups at 50 yards with plain jane Winchester Super-X High Velocity.
I prefer the McMillan Sporter on my high-end MOA 10/22, the ownership and tweaking of which is an on-going and bittersweet project. I plan to detail everything I've done and had to go through to get to where I finally end-up, but for now I can definitely say that my MOA 10/22 is a sub-MOA rifle with Winchester T22. I've shot some calm day (Wind < = 5 MPH) 100 yard, 10-shot groups under .75", as well as some groups around 2". I also measure <span style="font-style: italic">overall group size</span>, (not CTC).
Heres' a crappy photo I snapped using my Blackberry a few weeks ago. The photo isn't very good, but you get the idea. This was my first time shooting my (threaded) MOA 10/22 with Winchester Super-X T22 .22LR ammo at 200 yards.
This is a 7-shot group that measured less than 2.25" <span style="font-style: italic">edge-to-edge</span>. Only the shots to the left of the brown-looking rectangle are mine, and some of them are "stacked". And actually, I don't believe that one of the marks I counted is mine but since I would rather error on the side of conservatism I counted the mark. If I struck the faint mark at 1 O'Clock of the sharp, bright marks my group would be more like 1.75".
Through no fault of the gun, the other three shots are outside the photo frame. I definitely PULLED all three (3) of them due to my McMillan Sporter's LOP (13.0") being too short for me. One shot was 3" out at 10 O' Clock, the second was 4" out at 11 O' Clock, and the third was about 8" out between 5 and 6 O' Clock. Shot off bench using bipod and

For those of you who shoot at ASR, this was the round plate at the west end of the 200 yard berm. The wind picked-up and it started raining a few minutes after I took the photo, so I packed-up and left.

I also like the
<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">Bell & Carlson 10/22 Target / Varmint</span></span> - it is less than half the price of a McMillan Sporter. <span style="font-weight: bold">YAOG</span> here has an older blued Ruger 10/22T mounted in a Bell & Carlson 10/22 Target / Varmint using a pre-production Falcon 5-25X 56mm FFP MIL/MIL, EGW 20 MOA Extended Picatinny Rail, and Seekins Rings. That gun shoots great - not as consistently as my high-dollar custom 10/22, but way better than a 10/22T should shoot with just a stock change. He and I regularly hit 2" pieces of clay pigeon tossed-up on the 200 yard berm.
