And had the factory barrel rechambered and recrowned by Cameron Dearborn, a recommended guy on the rimfire central website.
The results were pretty good. Here's a 50yard 5 round group shot off a backpack with Wolf Match (the round is a cheapy Rem put in for scale--by the time I took the pic I'd shot up the Wolf):

The rifle looks pretty stock:
More 50 yard fun:
Off-hand and getting lucky.
I've got another one for a loaner, has a 20" heavy taper Green Mt barrel that shoots almost as good. New barrel and rechambering cost about the same.
Careful, it's easy to get obsessive about the darn things.
