I don't have one but, I have been beat by many people that do.

 

[Mt.Boy]

I have a 3 groove and I have been very happy with it.

Absolutely exceptional barrels, RF and high power.

They have been the most consistent and competitively accurate for longer than any manufacturer I can remember.

4 GR on a Lithgow, 3 GR on a Rim X & 3 GR on a Weihrauch - All very consistent and accurate barrels.
The smith who does all my rim fire builds commented on how uniform these bores were when he slugged them for crown location.
Highly recommended!

You can't go wrong with the 3G I have had about 12 done over the last 13 years in various contours and all have been really good barrels not one disappointed me.

I have numerous 3 grooves and 1 two groove barrel and I'm pleased with the accuracy out of all of them. I believe you will be happy if you get one and try it.

 

[linebaugh]

Great bbls. Would love to try a 3 groove

Is it them who has the tapered bore or choked?

I assume you're referring to the bore being taper-lapped. As far as I know, most SS custom rimfire barrels are taper-lapped

they never used to till one of them started it with the 1022 barrels.

You need to go back in history past 10/22 custom builds as for example Bill Calfee built RFBR rifles he handed tapered lapped barrels way before the popularity of 10/22 builds were around.

26" .900" OD Benchmark 3 groove on my 2018 Anschutz Precise prone rifle.
It's very accurate if I do my part and have won several matches with it.

to the general public NO. The ones I was talking about was from breech to muzzle. NOT just the muzzle end a little tighter like most custom hand lapped barrels are. These where done on a then new technology with the SUNNEN Hone. It could feel the tight spots and do extra lapping at any tight spots and be programmed to do a full lapping with the taper from one end to the other.

I don't think you understand taper lapped is not just at the muzzle. the so call choke at the muzzle is not what a good tape lapped barrel would have it would be a gradual taper from breech end to the muzzle end. the better the barrel the smoother the transition as you get closer to the muzzle end.

Benchmark uses a computerize Sunnen honing machine to first hone the drilled bore blank to get the best consistency prior to pulling the rifling button after that is done then it is hand taper lapped. as far as I know they been doing this for more than 15+ years

I have a 4 groove with an octagon profile on restored Winchester 1885 Lowall It’s a phenomenal shooter.

Lee,
A good 25 years. Billy Myers fit a ton of them

Read what I posted. I know what taper is and how it works.

Tim, If I am not mistaken Bill Myers helped with the development of the 2G benchmarks. he worked with BM.
but what was posted in regard to 10/22 barrels being the first to be taper lapped is not correct they were not the first taper lapped barrels.

Ok seems you do. but this is where the confusion is-they never used to till one of them started it with the 1022 barrels. 10/22 barrels were not the first barrels to be taper lapped.
