quote:Tom - My experience with a number of them is that they DO like some pressure about 1" from the forend tip. I like to use electrical tape (Scotch 33+ preferred) which makes it easy to add/subtract layers til you find what it likes best. R-WEST | |||

Its an easy thing to check: Make you some card stock washers to go between the action and the stock. Put a couple or three (or so) around the mounting screws and tighten things down. You want the barrel totally free floating so do the dollar bill thing between the forearm and the barrel. Shoot a few groups letting the barrel cool completely between sticks. Now then, remove the washers and, using card stock, make a couple of shims to put between the barrel and the forearm. You want a definite pressure. Shoot a few groups as above and compare them. | |||

No one can answer that question, it is a try and see with every gun... Some shoot free floating, some tight as yours is and some with 3 point bedding (pressure up front)...Try it as it, then put a shim or two under it and try that, if not then free float it...if it does not satisfy you with any of the above then sell it. | |||

Ray is absolutely right. With the featerweights, some like to be floated, some like support but no pressure, some like pressure with the amounts varying. There is no st answer. Each rifle is an individual. | ||
