From my research, Kidd...

There are many complaints about GM on Rimfirecentral. Their quality control seems to be hit-and-miss... and you see a lot of them for sale on US forums. But it's tough to say, as most rimfire testing is done at only 50 yards, which tells you absolutely nothing about how they perform at longer distances. The real test of a rimfire barrel is 200 yard results for me. I want 20 shot groups that are clay pigeon size (at most) under calm conditions. Agent Mango's GM barrel performs well at long range, but I didn't feel like taking the gamble.

Needless to say, I just ordered a Kidd barrel from Fabsports... we'll see how it performs.

Actually my barrel is a butler creek 20" SS fluted. I never had to choose the barrel, as I bought the gun from my brother, who had bought it from someone else.

If I were to build a long-range 10/22 now I'd probably drink the Kidd or Shilen cool-aid.

NEVER had a problem with any of my GM barrels.

GM and Dlask barrels are high on my "best bang for the buck" list.

BOTTOM LINE.....It all comes down to what your going to use it for and how much you want to spend.

Well, many have had problems with them and he asked which was the best, not the best bang for the buck.

Just stating a personal opinion?? (it still is a free country...isn't it???)

Feeling "cramped" today are we?

Nope, never have that problem. Sorry to hear that you do though... they make pills for it that might help you.

Yes, it's an opinion, but a prevalent one I guess, since there are dozens of threads on numerous sites saying the same thing. But hey, as long as you're happy with it, that's all that matters in the end.

Come on guys , this is not a pi$$ing match ,I to have heard complaints on GM barrels but have never experienced problems with the ones I have owned .

Wham-O your comment (Feeling "cramped" today are we? )was not needed and if it is your opinion why not state in you post ?
Relax guys
