Re-barrel a 40X

I've got a 40x that needs re-barreling(Long Story).
Is there anyway to pick a specific barrel that will shoot Wolf MT or SK Standard Rifle?
I have 22's with Lilja, Douglas and Shilen barrels and they all like Wolf.
With my luck lately, if I just pick a reputable barrel maker, I'll end up with one that only likes the $15/50 ammo.

Thanks for any advise.

If my memory serves me correctly, I beleive that Shilen is one of the go to makers for match shooters with 40X actions.

css I've got a shilen in a 40x and Winchester 52D action and both shoot wolf great. I went with 16 twist tight bore barrel blanks. Most any 16 twist from a good barrel maker should shoot one if not all the wolf stuff.

I would give Paul at Rock Creek a call. His 22 rimfire barrels are doing quite well.

I've sent Mike an email. We'll see what he has to say.

Thanks
