is there a 222 rem barrel out there for contender

Yes, i thought that might be what you were thinking, lol. The .222 is a great cartridge for accurracy. Wish i could help, used to have a few phone numbers of dealers who might have a used custom barrel but could`nt find them. A long barrel in .222 is gonna be tough to find. If i run across one i`ll let you know.
