Has anyone freefloated a 700cdl barrel and regretted it?
I am debating a freefloat and bed job on a factory stock or finding a synthetic stock with aluminum pillars (Bell and Carlson, HS Precision).
There's not many folks who know about that. Kudos to you for good thinking and reasoning.I can tell the difference between shooting with a bipod and shooting with sandbags in group size and POI. I'm guessing that it has to do something with different pressure points on the forearm.
This has been done for decades. Years ago, when stocks' fore ends were stiffer than more recent times, it was a good idea when the rifle was hand held as its fore end rested atop something on a bench. The pressure humans put on the rifle from shot to shot was reasonably consistant.Normally the only time pressure on the fore end is good is to compensate for poor bedding.
