I modified my wife's 10-22 carbine with a Butler Creek Combo barrel and stock and worked the trigger.
With a 5 cent washer on the bolt that holds the barrel and the stock, the barrel is free floating and it shoots better.
I put a Mueller scope on it.
She shoots it under 0.5 inches at 50 yards with Wolf Target ammo.

The Combo barrel/stock isn't the best or most expensive stock barrel combination but it does work pretty well.

If you can afford another $150 I would go with a match barrel and a Hogue stock.
