I have a 11" (or is it 12") .22 short match barrel for my Contender. I've shot it some (probably at most 100 rounds), but it could not really be considered "broken-in". I shot it in breezy conditions and managed to get 5 shot groups right about 1" @ 50 yards. I suppose that is within "minute of squirrel" but I was hoping for better. Especially when the ammo that shot the best was the high velocity variety and not the subsonic target ammo. I have not given up on it however as I said it really hasn't been shot much to "break-in".
