bull barrel for 22LR?
« on: May 24, 2005, 05:14:07 AM »
Do they make a 22 inch bull barrel for the 22LR Sportster? I called customer service and they said no, but I just don't want to believe it!
After shooting the 17hmr and 22lr the same day, it seems like the big barrel is lots easier to hold steady. I don't know why the 22lr still appeals to me with the 17's available, but it does.

No they don't offer the .22 LR in a heavy or bull barrel configuration,  however the .22 WRM is available in a 22" bull barrel through the barrel acessory program for $63.00 plus the usual shipping and fees. Or you can get the 22" bull barrel .22 WMR with Laminated stocks by ordering the Ultra Varmint. Sorry, no heavy barreled .22 LR in the lineup....<><.... :grin:

Sorry, no they don't. :( Only in the 17hmr, 17M2 and 22mag. And just in case you're wondering, the 22Lr can't be used in the 22mag.
