Hi All I am looking at buying another match 22lr barrel and wondered if the IBI 22 LR barrels from cleavers are any good ??? I have a Lilja in my CZ 453 and it shoots like a laser, but looking to fit one into my tikka t1x. and there's almost nothing on the net about them

Kickinback’s first impressions of a centrefore barrel is good . How much ar the rimfire barrels?

trevort,
1" straight stainless, non-fluted $390 or $590 spiral fluted.

They are working on drop-in fits for the 22RF for the TX1 as well. At the moment for $549 you can get drop ins for Ruger Precision, CZ455/457s and those with appropriate licence ... 10/22s.

The pre-fits use a modifed Eley EPS or Win 52D chambers.

I'm sorely tempted!
Cheers...

Con Kickin watched the video of them chambering a barrel, He didn't like their technique

I've always wanted a custom varmint barrel on my 22...…..

so long as the throat and chambers smooth and not oversize and the barrels slightly choked at the end they should shoot,but until I see someone here with some groups ill not spend my $$$ plus one came up for sale on abused guns for $400 and rang the guy about it but he just said it shot well but didn't have pics of the groups so didn't buy it

That's odd Lee, that barrel was listed as a blank, so there should or could not have been any groups shot. Something smells, you did well not to buy it i think.

400 for a blank on used guns? 390 new from the shop

Gotta add your mark up.

The guy listed the barrel as a blank on the picture but if you look at the listing on used guns it said 455/457 ,and here's the text. also thanks for pointing out the listing error as
it was a bit misleading.
Calibre/Item: Barrel CZ 455/457
Make: IBI.
Condition: Excellent
Price: $400
Advertised: 5/07/2019
SOLD in a day
also IBI says they get their barrels honed to within .0002" but then leave the muzzle end bigger to provide choke to the barrel, but yet their blanks are straight ??
Anyway going to buy a benchmark 2 groove. and get my gunsmith to chamber and fit it, using an ELEY EPS reamer

Can't elaborate any more on IBI 22lr barrels but can share on their centerfire barrels. I have set up a number recently from 6 Creedmoor, 7/08 and 284, and 308. All have been for target work from PRS to Fclass. All the feedback has been very positive and some of the results i have seen do rival barrels at twice the cost.

Personally i would never own one. I can't put my finger on exactly why considering the feedback I've gotten. All i can say is that i judge barrels on the way the threads, the muzzle and chamber cut appears off the tool without polishing. They just don't meet my test like a MADDCO, Krieger or Broughton does.
Despite that, they clearly do perform. As to why is a mystery to me.

are they made in china ?

Made in Canada
