I've got a pretty early 455, and the more I shoot it, the less I like it, especially after buying a 452. I've got all three barrels, and as of yet, haven't found that it's not all that great a shooter with ANY of them. It does tolerably well with the LR barrel, but the .22 WMR barrel is not impressing me at all.
Right now, mine is set up in .22WMR, because I've never owned a WMR rifle before, and I wanna mess with it some. It is my .22 Hornet's poor cousin at the moment.
I've got a really great shooting Marlin in ,17HMR, so the HMR barrel is kinda unnecessary, too.
If I were doing it again, I'd have got the one barrel and called it good.
I have a 455 in .17hmr that is wicked accurate. Was considering buying a .22 barrel but am thinking I'll just leave it alone and shoot a .22 when I want to do that.
