On the official site, it does not inform the direction of the stripes inside the pipe, and it does not report how many stripes it has, 6? 8? how many?

That's called rifling in the barrel. Barrel has lands and grooves . Normal .22's are 1 turn in 16". You can look down the barrel with a flashlight at the other end and see which direction the rifling turns.

Well, I don't have one. And I need that information to be able to buy. Because on the website it does not speak anything. Anyone who has can inform?

Why would you need to know the twist on a 22 rifle? You get what they make in the rifle of your choice and it is not an option.

music2020, popular videos can talk about barrel specifics for accuracy
or the match to selected ammo manufacturers or specific rounds.

In other words, high level competition shooters - "may" want a perfect
or perceived perfect engineering set for a "Match" gun.

"Generally" these aspects aren't used or expected in the .22 world.

Not saying it does not exist, just that for the use most have with the 15-22, match type shooting may not be the goal.

Maybe tell us what you want your gun to do and we can better answer
a question that you don't seem to totally understand yourself. Lots of nice folks here to sort that out.

There are many bolt action .22's that are very accurate, and the 15-22 is no slouch - in fact a great gun.

Don't worry about the gun lingo, just explain what you want it to do.
