    10/22 bull barrel question?

    I'm in the middle of starting a new build and wanted to see what others had to say about the two barrels I am considering.

    First is a Green Mountain Bull Barrel and the other is an E.R Shaw.

    Does anyone know if one is better than the other?

    Heard lots of good reviews about green mountain and a good price. ER are more pricey but also more flashy

        I use a green mountain bull barrel and love it. It is so accurate! Can't speak for the Shaw, but I would highly recommend the GM.

          Great customer support with Green Mountain as well.

              Researching same thing. Both barrels are comparable in price. In fact, the ER Shaw is a little cheaper. The guys at Rimfire Central seem to like both. No one had anything negative to say about either. However, GM did have a larger following.

              My only problem was GM is out of stock on the 18", Non-fluted, Blued, .920 barrel. ER Shaw has it in stock. So, I guess it's ER Shaw

              He is an anti-gun guy and he said. "Well, you can't eat ammunition". I replied with "When I'm starving to death with a case of ammunition, who's door do you think I am going to knock on?"

                    Where did you find it in stock? Everywhere I look, they seem to be sold out.

                      Don't forget about the Revolution barrels. They run around $120 and have match chambers. I have one and am extremely happy with it, it shoots very tight groups.

                        I love my Kidd 20'' match barrel, ($200) and man it shoots really well. Much better than I'm capable of. It's been functioning perfectly with NO issues whatsoever, all CCI mini mag solid and hp. The down side for some would be that these barrels are HEAVY.

                            I got it from Brownells. It showed in stock then I ordered it and then it showed out of stock. I called the next morning first thing and they told me I got the last one. It is the 20 inch blued. Recieved it today and it looks very nice.
