    Barrel choke

    G'day I read an article recently in a magazine, where the author put a collar on the muzzle to achieve what your talking about. It was done to a rifle that came from the factory with a bad barrel ( oversize bore and an even bigger swelling of the bore at the muzzle). This was not a benchrest...

    Show us your rimfires.

    G'day Can I also ask a question?? Is the barrel tapered or straight ?? If it is straight , would moving the forend up and down the barrel have any effect on tuning it??.
