So, are you getting way better accuracy out of the dedicated .22 short barrel that cannot be achieved in a LR chamber?


Yep. Here's 50 yards from a bag rest, 4X Weaver rimfire scope, 5 shots back to back which measure just slightly greater than 1/2". HVHP ammo shoots the same but about 1" higher at that distance.

The red dot gives up a little accuracy, running about 1.5" at 50 yards. However, my chosen zero with that sight and commensurate with the cover I hunt is 10 yards. The targets below were fired in numerical sequence starting with an absolutely clean bore and elbow rest on a bench. After the first three groups I adjusted the sight as annotated prior to shooting numbers 4 and 5.
