Hi all, I was told by one gun store that the CF barrel on the b22 precision lite is a Proof Research Barrel. I cannot find anything anywhere that can confirm that. Does anyone here know if that is true or not?

VISA loves me since I joined this site.
Just remember that 'dealer' and take 'anything' he says with a grain of salt. At minimum he was passing 'unsubstantiated info' and Some will tell you anything to get a sale. Maybe he was given 'wrong info' by someone or maybe just 'blowin' smoke'.
Easy mistake by a dealer as all the carbon centerfire barrels come from Proof. If it was a Proof barrel though, you can bet your bottom that Savage would be touting that on their website like they do on all the models that do come with a Proof barrel.
There are several outfits making button-rifled CF barrels, so Savage could be sourcing these rimfire barrels from any of them.
