    22lr Benchrest: Rebarrel a 22, preferred gunsmith

    I have a Tikka T1x that I use primarily for target shooting, while it shoots pretty well all things considered I'm pretty convinced I want to rebarrel it to a a much longer heavier barrel.

    Are there any preferred gun smiths to do rimfire rebarrelling/ accuracy work?
    Or has anyone had any luck with a (22lr not centrefire) rebarrel from Trueflight or Hardy?

    If money wasn't an object I'd just buy a Vudoo barrelled action, but considering they are $6000 with no trigger or stock, dropping $8000 on a new build seems a little mad if I haven't atleast considered the alternatives.

    I can't find much info about rebarrel Tikka T1s other than prefit drop in barrels which are common in the US, and these all get fairy mixed reviews.
    Considering how common it is to rebarrel CZ 452/455/457s and get incredibly good results, I can only think Tikka T1s are either:
    -too new to the market to have a following in rimfire benchrest
    -accurate enough out of the box people don't bother
    -have some major flaw that stops them being rebarrelled (certainly not as easy as a CZ455/457)

    Cheers
