I'm thinking about rebarreling one of my custom rifles in 22 Creed. I was hopeful of finding a 7.5" twist Krieger or Bartlein. I would consider an 8" twist or other match SS barrel. Anyone know of a source?
Good choice for barrel manufacture, depending on the bullet weight for the twist. I think that you typically shoot lighter bullets. If you are shooting 70gr and above 7.5" will work fine. We have our old trusted Yote & Hog & PD for .223 Rem with a 1:8 and shoot 50gr to 69gr with good/great accuracy. All our new AR Barrels are 1:75 with 26" length to shoot 69 gr to 80 gr.. also have 88.5 that we are going to try.I'm thinking about rebarreling one of my custom rifles in 22 Creed.

Just (re)building a fun gun and will probably shoot 80-90gr bullets. I have a Lawton custom short action in a McMIllan stock which is currently wearing a .308Win bbl.Good choice for barrel manufacture, depending on the bullet weight for the twist.

We only have .224 barrels for ARs and spoken for. We only shoot .223 Rem.
You could tell us more info on the barrel length and in a Stock or Chassis what Action.
You also have some choices with powder in the 22 Creed.
Good luck and you already have many choices discussed on LRH to put a .22 bullet in.
Let us know what you finally decide on.

There ya go!Just (re)building a fun gun and will probably shoot 80-90gr bullets. I have a Lawton custom short action in a McMIllan stock which is currently wearing a .308Win bbl.
I had a 22-243 & 22-243AI previously and really enjoyed them. The 22 Creed would be the easy button for something new. Waiting for some Alpha brass to come in.
If we are picking outside the box of 2 then I'm with BJ ……Brux would be mine hands down.
