[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 3004390, member: 27307"] I don't see it as being afraid, I see it as related to the cost of a new barrel with installation when it may not be the right twist rate the buyer is familiar with. I've been shooting several .22 caliber rifles recently, well quite a few years actually. The .22 Creedmoor is excellent because brass is available and so are faster twist rifle barrels. But... The .22GT is becoming a first grab on the way out the door to shoot. I shoot the Berger 85.5, 26" barrel, 1:7" twist, no suppressor on this one and tested 3 powders which work for my uses. Ramshot Hunter Re-16 VVN-550 Hodgdon Hybrid 100V works well but you lose a little velocity but gain a milder burn rate. :) [/QUOTE]
