I suggest one of the many performance bbls on the market and go from there.I did a 77/22 bbl build for an ar project and that was a tack driver. There are numerous 77/22 bbls out there for cheap, that will give you better accuracy then a stock bbl. Same for the trigger group.

Or build off the TS receiver and save $100.

Unfortunately, like an AR once you get started your "project" has more money in it than you realize.
Lol, I'm not disagreeing with you but the complete rifles are better deal in the long run for what they are

Ruger 10/22 - $240
X-ring Receiver - $369
TS Alum Barrel - $195
TS Extended Mag release - $35
Hogue stock - $70

or you can get all that in a complete rifle for about $600
