Same with my unique, 40 plus years old, multiple owners still as accurate as ever. Mind you neither it or the voere were cheap .22s.
Barrel life of the unique was claimed in the booklet to be in excess of 150,000 rounds and shooting lead projectiles the wear would be minimal. I think that would apply to most barrels on .22s.
Its the moving bits that would wear out first.
