I am thinking hard on tearing down my 10/22 and rebuilding it using a carbon fiber /chrome lined barrel. This a way it can be a tackdriver on he range an still nice n light for bunnies/squirrels.
Are they all cracked up for what the manufacturers claim?Whatis barrel life?

I don't know about longevity, but the Buttler Creek barrel I have will shoot 1/2 inch groups at 50 yards. It isn't as pretty as the Voltsquarten, but it is less expensive and it gets the job done.

my butler creek barrel does very nicely, it is the heavyweight stainless/fluted/ported w/bayonett, just kidding it isnt ported, no I mean no bayonett. Seriously tho Butler Creek is a good name in my book so far. not a cromelined barrel but it should last a good while I imagine in both cases. It is a 22 LR it would be different if it was a .223.
Let us know your progress.
