Why pay for an sbr tax stamp when you can buy the sbx? - Tactical Solutions X-Ring SBX Barrel for 10/22 Rifles

I have about 100 rounds through the barrel and am very pleased with the performance. At 50 yards with CCI Standard Velocity, 5 shot groups were between a nickle and a quarter. I'm sure experiences shooters could fine tune that. The install was easy and straight forward. The Tactical Solutions V block is needed for install. The shroud fits both the Gemtech GM22 and the Silencer CO Spetre II as well as other suppressors with the OD of 1". It provides great protection for the suppressor and creates some security that an accidental fall would not damage the threaded barrel end or the suppressor itself. Overall I am happy with my purchase and would recommend the SBX barrel to other Ruger 10/22 owners. I have not yet tested it to 100 yards but am confident it will succeed my expectations.
