    Conclusion.... Is the barrel worth $375???? I shot Wolf, SK, Eley, Norma, Federal, CCI and it shot all of them very well from a bipod and a rear bag.Scope was on 14x and no wind flags were used. The rifle ran perfectly without one malfunction. So, anytime you can get a barrel that shoots different brands of ammo very well with zero malfunctions, it is worth what I paid for it to me. Further testing will be done with Eley and Lapua ammo with flags. Bartlein make an outstanding 10/22 barrel!


    Eley Pistol 50 shots

    I never would have put money on the Norma.

    My Savage Mk II with factory fluted 20" "heavy" barrel shoots 5 shot fifty yard groups at .6" with Norma TAC.
    CCI standard velocity is almost as good, still better than .75" at 50.
    I recently picked up some SK Standard Plus that shows real promise, at least as good as the Norma, with a few groups at .5"
    Getting a scope with adjustable parallax may have weighed in favor of the SK, though, I'll have to compare them back to back before my next build is done and the SuB PMII finds a new home on it.
     
    I have one of these 16" .920 barrels drilled out ~11" for an integral suppressor, so only about 4.5" bbl. left... Interested in how that's gonna turn out accuracy-wise. I'm considering the same receiver but a different stock, the Titan.
