Why Choose the X-Ring Barrel
Lightweight, lively handling: Precision fluting reduces weight, improves balance, and increases surface area for heat dissipation during long strings.
Threaded 1/2x28 muzzle: Ready for rimfire suppressors, brakes, or comps (where legal). Includes thread protector when running the barrel bare.*
Fiber-optic sight clarity: Bright fiber-optic front sight (with matching rear notch system) draws the eye for fast, intuitive alignment in varied light.
Match-grade precision: Rigid target contour and concentric bore support tight groups with quality .22 LR ammunition.
Durable matte black finish: Low-glare exterior shrugs off scratches and blends with modern receivers, stocks, and optics.
Drop-in compatibility: Designed to fit Ruger 10/22, TacSol X-Ring, and T/C T/CR22 receivers for a straightforward upgrade.
*Always verify your device’s thread spec and re-zero after installation.
Built for Performance
Stability & cooling: The fluted profile enhances thermal management and stiffness-to-weight, helping maintain POI through extended sessions.
Optic-friendly: Run irons only, or pair the barrel with a receiver rail and optic—your fiber-optic sights remain a reliable backup.
Suppressor synergy: The 1/2x28 interface makes it simple to add a can for quieter practice and better shooter feedback (where permitted).
Ideal Uses
NRL22 / steel challenge: Faster transitions thanks to lighter muzzle weight and bright sights.
Small-game & varmint: Quick sight picture and consistent accuracy in the field.
Trainer builds: Mirror your centerfire setup with a precise, affordable-to-shoot platform.
Installation & Setup Tips
Ensure clear & safe: Separate the barreled action from the stock and remove the factory barrel per manufacturer guidance.
Seat & secure: Align the extractor cut and torque the V-block to spec for a repeatable interface.
Add devices carefully: When installing a brake or suppressor, confirm thread concentricity and proper torque.
Find your ammo node: .22 LR is load-sensitive—test several SKUs to see what your rifle prefers.
Confirm zeros: Verify iron-sight zero first; add optics later and establish separate dope cards.
