Default Barrel for barrel

Looking for input on hammer forged vs button rifled barrels in 22 rimfire. All input and experience is welcome.

Thanks

What level of accuracy are you looking for? In rimfire BR the top barrels are button rifled.

I sure like my Lilja buttoned rifled barrel.

Do any aftermarket barrel companies even do hammer forged?

Button cut and single point cut are the only methods used that I'm aware of, except for some factory barrels that are hammer forged.

As to which method is best, it's all personal preference. Ask guys that prefer button cut barrels and they'll tell you those are the best, ask folks that prefer single point cut barrels and they'll tell you they're the best. The good thing is there is probably no less than 7-10 top tier barrel companies to choose from.

Put it this way, about 99.9% of match grade rimfire SS barrels in benchrest are taper lapped, button rifled barrels.
There are a few, and I mean few, Kreigers and fewer still, Bartleins.
