The rechambered factory barrels cost more then an aftermarket barrel.
They shouldn't, I think RFC charges under $100 to cut a new chamber. I did mine for the cost of the reamer. It's a straight forward operation on a lathe, basic machining.
The stock Ruger barrel are really very good, they just have a generous chamber so it well eat any ammo you may toss at it. Do the modified Bentz chamber and a Ruger barrel can easily get sub moa groups. You just have to be picky about what ammo you shoot.
The after market manufacturers serve a lot of kool aid. They want you to believe that you need all the after market goodies in order to shoot sub moa groups, not so. Some basic gunsmithing skills should get a stock 10/22 to near moa with out any expense. Add $100 to the budget and easy sub moa.
