Thread: Barrel Tuner For 22LR

Some people swear by them other people are doubtful.
The same logic as centrefire applies in that thin barrels benefit more, heavy barrels less.

It really depends what you are trying to achieve though, it it's small groups at a known distance then yes I'd give one a go.
Or if trying to get a thin factory barrel to shoot well then also probably worth it.
If longer range shooting then I'd say it's considerably less important.

With 22lr though ammo is always the biggest variable, tight groups at 25 or 50m mean nothing if the ammo has a high ES and prints 12" tall groups at 150m.

Ammo lot testing should always be your first step with 22lr and don't assume different batches of the same brand of ammo will perform the same.
