Default Bull Barrel Length Opinion

All,
Turning my 10/22 into a target rifle, and I'm down to the next to last component, the barrel. Shooting 100 yard targets, which would be better, 18" or 20"?

Read up on Feddersen barrels on rimfirecentral.com. I believe he is getting the best accuracy with 16" barrels.

16" heavy works real well on my 10/22 and Savage Mk2 fvsr. No need to go longer unless you're after a bench only 22lr IMO.

I have an 18" Green Mountain on mine... wish I would have went with a 16". Will probably swap it out soon.

I have read that 16” is the max velocity out of .22 rimfire ammo.

I dont see a downside to going longer, and i like the look of a longer barrel.

Test for yourself and you will find out that you read a lie.

Tony Kidd recommends the 20" in his barrels. It's sure sweet off the bench.

Just food for thought...
I have an old 1940's Remington model 37 that has a 28" barrel. It is the most accurate/precise firearm I own. The scope is the only limiting factor, so yes the barrel length does seem to matter.
It dresses out at 14lbs wet and ready to shoot. Bench rifle.

Sent using a long string and 2 used soup cans

For strictly bench shooting go with the longest you can manage.
