Wow! what a fun barrel! - Tactical Solutions X-Ring SBX Barrel for 10/22 Rifles

Received it yesterday and installed it almost immediately after inspection. Finish was perfect. Bore was fine, but did get a few pass-throughs with a bore snake to remove very tiny shavings from the rifling. Fit was excellent (after recommended light sanding)to the barrel stub.

Already has a scope mounted on the donor receiver. Elevation was dead-on and windage just needed to walk a little to the right from the factory barrel setting.

Shooting produced several 'same hole' shots. Groups were less than .250" at roughly 23 yards with CCI subsonic rounds (and that was in a hurry to get shots out while the chainsaw was running next door). Very pleased with out-of-the-box performance at short range. Will stretch it out later as I upgrade the scope.

FYI: I used 220 and then 400 wet/dry to bring the stub into exact fit. Just like polishing a crankshaft journal. Several videos online of that technique so you don't take too much off or make it uneven. A drop of synthetic ATF and push while rotating.
