Is it metal barrel encased in plastic or what? For some reason I can't picture a plastic barrel being able to retain it's stability over the long term.

Jim,

The one I have is a Model #10774  The barrel is Satin Nickel Plated.
Only plastic I see is the stock.  There maybe other models that
do something different.  I would be nice to have a silencer on it
but that is a minor issue.  It came with a 4x32 scope which does
quite well.  Some adjustments needed over time.

The .22 gauge barrel has never been used.  BTW I always have it charged
and ready for the next varmint!!  Maybe 2 weeks or more.  Does not
fail me.  Now, I am sure that at some point that may prove wrong but
for now it is not an issue.
