David Hancock Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 How interesting. I was looking at South Yorkshire Shooting Supplies' - SYSS - website today. Some very sexy Green Mountain fluted and carbon weave Volquartson barrels. Very aesthetically pleasing. Performance wise. I can't comment. A rimfire is not going to heat up as a centrefire will. Sex and stand out definately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunsgobang88 Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Hi, Heavy barrels just make what are usually light rifles that bit steadier. A CZ .22 with heavy barrel, tuned trigger and quality ammo will shoot sub moa at 100 yards, Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Mick Hello Aggy I've had CZ 452's in standard barrels which felt a bit light, also CZ 452's in 17 hmr varmint profile, which off sticks in front of the golf course grounds man took rabbits to 252 yards, so a lot steadier, I have a Rimfire magic custom from SYSS with a heavy green mountain fluted barrel and it's shoots amazingly accurate groups and rabbits out to 100 yards plus with subsonic ammo I don't think rimfire rifles get the best barrels due to the cheap prices that some of them cost, But it's sometimes wiser to buy a quality used rifle than a cheaper new one around the same price In the end it's up to you to decide its too heavy to carry or to light to use out of a truck window and keep missing Regards Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnGalway Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 How interesting x 2. I've been poking around the internet looking at .22lr's, for when I sell my HMR. I keep being drawn back to the heavier barrel models for the steady factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnGalway Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Well wear Mick, let us know how she shoots? The trigger may have been an aftermarket replacement, or perhaps just it's spring was changed. YoDave do trigger springs for CZ's, Eric Brooks used to do a kit too, don't know if he still does or not. Rimfirecentral has some pretty good CZ info on it.
