After installing the Feddersen barrel, I noticed tighter groupings at the range. It’s a worthy upgrade! Just wish I had done it sooner.
That’s awesome, Josh! What ammunition worked best for you with the Feddersen barrel? I’m looking for recommendations before I hit the range.
I had great results with CCI Mini-Mags. They seem to complement the Feddersen barrel nicely. What’s everyone else’s go-to ammo?
I’ve seen people swear by that ammo! I tried some random bulk stuff, and it jammed a lot. Lesson learned!

Installing this barrel didn’t feel compatible at first. It needed some fitting to make it work with my older model. Anyone else found compatibility issues with certain 10/22 variants?
Yes, Melissa! I have a vintage model, and the mounting hole didn’t line up at first. A bit of elbow grease fixed it, but still, be cautious if you have older models.
It’s good to hear it worked out. I’ve read some people suggesting the Feddersen for older models, but I guess it can be hit or miss.
I found the installation manual a bit vague. It could be more detailed for those new to barrel swaps. Anyone else felt the same?
Totally agree! I YouTube’d the installation for clarity. Visuals make a huge difference!
Adding an aftermarket barrel can be daunting, but the Feddersen is worth it. Just be patient during installation, and you’ll be happy with the results, I promise!
I’ve been using the Feddersen 10/22 barrel for a few months now, and I can definitely say its build quality is impressive compared to other aftermarket options like the Green Mountain barrels. The precision is noticeable at the range.

How does it hold up in terms of cost? I’m considering different options but want something that balances performance and price well.
The Feddersen is typically more expensive than some of the cheaper aftermarket barrels, but if you’re looking for accuracy and longevity, it might just be worth the extra cash. I’ve found it outperforms the typical stock barrel significantly.

Absolutely! I think it’s important to consider not just the initial cost but also how long you’ll keep the barrel and how much you’ll use it. Cheaper can be more expensive in the long run.
Performance metrics aside, I really appreciate the aesthetics of the Feddersen barrel. It’s sleek and looks nice on the rifle, adding to the overall appeal.
True, but let’s not forget functionality! How does it compare with a Match Grade barrel? Any notable differences in grouped shots?
In my experience, the Feddersen barrel yields tighter groups than many Match Graded options I’ve seen. If you are serious about target shooting, it’s a solid investment.
Sounds convincing, but does anyone have a side-by-side comparison with the Volquartsen barrels? They are also highly regarded.
The Volquartsen is indeed great, but I feel it varies based on what you’re using it for. For bench shooting, Feddersen may edge out the Volquartsen on consistency.
I’ve heard people say that the Feddersen has a bit more recoil mitigation than the Volquartsen which helps in target acquisition; any thoughts on that?
