[QUOTE="grit, post: 639785, member: 4112"] I suspect Richards idea is very likely. Using kiln dried unseasoned blanks, the pressure tabs keep the rifles looking good on the shelf. The shortcoming of pressure points is changing pressures change point of impact. Everything changes pressures on the forend. A tight sling, temperature, humidity, different rests. If you've ever put a columator in a bore and looked through the scope, it's amazing how little pressure it takes to move things around. If you have a sporter with pressure points, shoot it accordingly. Always check your zero before you hunt. Try to shoot with consistent pressure on the forend. Be aware a tight sling, hard rest, or bipod could throw shots. If you want to shoot off a bipod, test the rifle off a bipod. Our needs are different then they were before. We're shooting long range. A one minute shift in point of impact is not okay for what we do. Our rifles are built accordingly. We use rigid barrel contours, rigid stocks impervious to the elements, and we free float the barrels. [/QUOTE]
