Yes I agree that there is very little vibration in a 22. But look at it from this stand point. You have a piece of plastic sandwiched between two pieces of metal and the part inwhich that stablizes is nearly 16 inches long and you have ahold of the first inch. My money is on the fact that added weight makes the barrel settle to the same point after each shot. (Lowest point of travel) which makes the gun more repeatable. Everytime a rifle is fired the barrel whips this may be very little on the 15/22 but if the barrel settles to a different point everytime its fired it doesn't matter how good the barrel is.. id also say that if a man took a torque wrench and played with the torque on the barrel nut to tune it to the round being fired he would be amazed
