Ruger 10/22 build

I searched the threads and was surprised not to find any mention of the 10/22 custom target guns, and the hundreds of after market accessories that are available.. I've read some bad reviews on Rugers factory target model, So seeing I have two Sporter models I might better build my own target competition gun. I'd be highly interested in your thoughts on barrels.. Special tool needed for pulling and attaching ?? I will want the .920 bull but should I go lightweight or heavy ? Steel, fluted, stainless, or carbon fiber ? Also what's out there for stock replacements ? I don't suppose Coumo made any exceptions for thumbhole in .22 rimfire because I like what Boyd's has to offer..
I'm sure many of you have built your own , so whatever your likes and dislikes ,, post em up.. thanks

What do you plan on shooting (in regards to barrel)

And nope no exemption for thumbholes on a 22

Just got back from a rimfire match. Need to shoot from different positions, all timed. So gongs and paper . A quick and accurate gun under 100 yards..

I'm not sue if I should keep it lightweight or heavy ended.. I would expect most matches cover more shooting positions.

Not sure if it would be good for competitions or not, but I have the magpul x hunter series for the 10/22 and we love it.

I leaning towards a replacement , a Stocky's Euro model in timber or granite.. I'll order something up after next weekend.

A prime day deal for the new build, I'm not sure if I'll use it, it's super heavy for it size but it has parallax adjustments down to 10 yards.

Now I have to wait and clear the credit card before I order my barrel and trigger.. I think it's time I finally go get a debt card..

It's shaping up to be a nice weekend ! This barrel from AR-7 Custom Accessories just landed on my steps, a late b-day gift from the wife.. just need a trigger group then I'll make an attempt at putting it all together..
Ps.. 18" ported for the nasty .22 long rifle recoil and because it looks cool. But most importantly because they forgot about porting in the safe act..so far..

Would one be better off starting with a regular 10/22 or the take down version?

I'm thinking a whole lot less options if you chose a take down down as a starter , I'm thinking very little if any replacement stock options and you would be limited to factory size barrels..
