LimbSaver Barrel De-Resonator

Has anyone tried one of these on a Rimfire. LimbSaver Barrel De-Resonator. My first thought is just a gimmick. But barrel tuners work maybe this could.

It can help, however the lack of adjustability makes them somewhat limited in how much they can contribute.

another thing you can try is rubber O-rings or grommets, I been down this path with some success 2012.-H&R M12

I bought two of these recently ---

one large diameter and one small diameter, figuring I would try one on a heavy, target-style .22lr rifle,
and the other on a regular .17HMR sporter.

I followed the included instructions on initial placement and shot them at 100 yards (indoors) thinking that if
I couldn't tell a difference at 100, I wouldn't bother with 50.

I also had a pretty good feel for how both of these rifles shot normally and wanted to see if
there was enough of a 'seat-of-the-pants' difference to warrant the effort in making a more
'scientific' test out of it.

After trying a few different barrel positions on each rifle, I am of the opinion that I did
not see any obvious differences on the heavy barrel rifle, but that I might-have on the sporter.

My next range trip I will be a little more methodical about things by taking before/after measurements
and documenting the results from different placements.

Like everything else with rimfire, it probably . . . 'depends'. ;)

PS

With a little lube, they were easier to install and move around than I anticipated ---
the rubber is fairly stretchy.

They are not very heavy.

Free floaters often need to dampen barrel harmonics. Nothing a pressure pad can’t accomplish. I like them at the front of the barrel tight where the receiver and barrel climb out of the inletting. Some like them at the muzzel. A barrel is like a bell, strike it and it rings ,touch it and it stops. When do you want it to stop? How this affects accuracy , I don’t know. I do know that it does. These rubber donuts prolly work better on thin walled barrels vs bull barrels. But prolly not well. Since the rely on elasticity alone.
