Anyone tried the Volquartsen 15-22 barrel?

It seems that Volquartsen has the only aftermarket barrel for the 15-22. I wonder why?

Just wondering how the Volquartsen barrel groups SV ammo. Anyone shot it for groups yet?

No idea.

Not with SV ammo.

tomcatt51,

Now that you have had the Volquartsen barrel for a bit, how you liking it?

I like it. I use it for Rimfire Challenge, Steel Challenge etc. It swings much better, and while I haven't seriously done any accuracy testing the groups I'm seeing while sighting in using my range bag as a rest are less than half the size of my backup 15-22 with its' original barrel.

Only downside is a tighter chamber that needs more frequent cleaning. It's not a problem, reliability is still its' usual excellent, I just can't be quite as neglectful...
