Is the barrel on this Umarex Octane .22 cal rifled? I read a review that said this was a smooth bore barrel???

It is rifled steel. It is a good barrel. Make sure to tighten barrel if loose.

Yes, the barrel is rifled but I have not been able tofind any reference which specifies the rate of twist.

Dont know about the one you purchased. I purchased 2 of these and the barrel moves to all position including the last one.

It is a break barrell and has a Nitrogen gas piston..No spring and no pump or Tank is used...It's a single shot break barrell...Very powerful air gun it's very much like shooting a 22.LR.

Sorry, I used a Chinese model 53 Carbine Mosin Nagant Style Rifle, Had to do some sanding/Grinding for it to Fit Like I wanted. I have a Hex Barrel 91/30 and the original stock is pretty decent, All serial numbers match,The Hex Receiver is worth more as a collectors Gun, leave it as is,if you can.

No the barrel size is off but I would double check the barrel size it's made for a .22

This is a single shot break barrel type pellet rifle. It is not a quiet pellet rifle as I found out. It seemed almost as loud as a 22 caliber rifle and packs quite a punch for a pellet gun.

Bought mine on sale 2 yrs ago at Wally's. Came with .177 and .22 barrels. Easy enough to check - just open the box!...Recommend you replace scope. I swapped for a Barska 2-7x32 Air Gun Scope. EXCELLENT pellet gun for the money, especially with a better scope mounted. Really nice wood furniture too. Using wadcutter pellets, I can hit a bottle cap mounted SIDEWAYS - OFFHAND at the 10 meter competition distance on a regular basis!!! To the reviewer who said it was a piece of junk - suggest he read the break-in period info and practice a little more. :-) Performance smooths out at about 300 rounds during which time, I found that wadcutters work best for mine - YMMV.

This is a .177 cleaning kit, so even though it will enter a .22 barrel, it will be too loose t be able to properly clean it. Try a .22 one!

Yes and no. The outside is all plastic. The grip is rubbery plastic that is not scratchy or cheap feeling. The internals are all metal, including the barrel. The barrel is shrouded in plastic, which means no fingerprints or oiling the barrel to keep it looking nice. For the price, this gun is very well made, and even though it is light, it feels durable enough to handle average use, and it's heavy enough to not feel hollow or cheap.

This rifle, like many air rifles, has a 'fluted' barrel. This means there are several groves in a straight line machined inside the barrel. The pellet will not spin coming from this barrel.

I don't own a 10/22 (I know, I know, everyone's supposed to have one, but I don't *yet*). But there are two issues I see. I think the 10/22 barrel is a little smaller than a shotgun tube, and also the 10/22 barrel is going to get hot which will wear down the rubber grip. So I'm going to say that it isn't a good idea. This clamps to the tube, not the barrel. I know the description says barrel but the instructions clearly state tube... (which works just fine for just *mounting* not using it for anything else.So until someone confirms they've put this on a barrel, put some rounds through and didn't burn the rubber off, I wouldn't try it.

This version is to large for a 22 cal. They do sell them in that caliber though. I would highly recommend for cleaning barrels.

I cleaned the barrel with 177.cleaning pellets and a gun cleaning kit the hoppes kit I bough from Amazon just use the oil it comes with on the outside only!!! I oiled the barrel with the silicone chamber oil by crosman spring oil!! I have the spring black ops! The round 177.bb worked great in it!! I was really loud I like using the heavier 177 pellets H&N barracuda power 10.65 but anything 8.18 and up works great in it.....

my two 10/22 have this, and they are quiet. now at 500 rds or so, add sub sonic ammo and a oil filter and you'll get a really quiet rifle.;)

No. It has an aluminum barrel inside of the outer barrel. And it is not rifled. But when pumped to it's max it is extremely accurate.

No. Its barrel is smooth boar, not rifled. The design of the shell is also only to hold metal BB, not pellet.
