I think it would depend a lot on what manufacture made the barrel and was it a good smith who did the work. Try to talk him down as there's not a whole lot of guys line up to buy 17-222. I have one on Model 700 and its a great cartridge for dogs. With 25 grain V-Max expect 4000 - 4200 fps. Also check to see if its bedded.
