.22 ARC Prefit Carbon Fiber Barrel

The .22 ARC (Advanced Rifle Cartridge) is a modern .22-caliber cartridge designed for excellent long-range performance in a compact, efficient package. Built around the 6.5 Grendel case family, the .22 ARC is optimized for high-BC .22-caliber bullets, offering a combination of flat trajectory, low recoil, and excellent wind resistance. It is well suited for precision shooting, competition, varmint hunting, and lightweight hunting applications.

This Helix 6 Precision .22 ARC Prefit Barrel features a match-grade 416R stainless steel core wrapped in our proprietary carbon fiber construction. The result is a lightweight, stiff barrel designed to maintain accuracy and minimize point-of-impact shift as temperatures rise and shooting strings extend.

The .22 ARC is particularly well suited for shooters looking for high ballistic performance, low recoil, and long-range capability in a lightweight .22-caliber platform. Its efficient case design and ability to use modern, high-BC bullets make it an excellent choice for precision-focused builds where a compact cartridge and lightweight rifle are priorities.

Each Helix 6 barrel carries a sub-½ MOA accuracy guarantee when used with match-grade ammunition, quality components, and by a capable shooter.

BOLT FACE DISCLAIMER

Cartridge compatibility is dependent on the bolt face of your specific action. The .22 ARC uses a Grendel-family bolt face and is not compatible with a standard .223 Remington/5.56 NATO bolt face. Verify that your action has the correct bolt face for the .22 ARC cartridge before ordering. Helix 6 Precision does not modify or change the bolt face.
