I decided to do a little comparison between the two barrels when I swapped out the old smooth barrel to a rifled one. Not the most scientific of tests compared to some of the others in here but nice to see them side by side. All rested using H&N excite hammers. Special thanks to CaptDAR for the wooden grips.
First at 5m:

And again at 10m

The difference in the results at 5m was negligible, but a vast difference at 10m with the rifled barrel showing significantly better accuracy. I could have tested further but I was eager to get the new barrel in and it won't be coming out again. I have put more pellets through it since and am very pleased with the improvement over the original smoothbore barrel. I don't have access to a chronograph so no idea of the velocities.
