[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 208771, member: 2736"] Mike If you have shot it and it shoots fine then leave it alone. If not then shoot it first and see how it shoots. Only shoot 1 or 2 shots to check the zero. after 3 or more shots it will heat up and start moving around .(Not unusual for a rifle with tip pressure). The reason for free floating a barrel is to make it more consistant but on light barrels some times it will shoot worse so test it first. When hunting big game you only need one or two shots but if you were hunting Prairie Dogs then you would have to float the barrel and bed the action. The main problem with tip pressure is that they can change POI on wooden stocks. So if you are satisfied with the accurace leave tip pressure on it if not then remove it.(you can allways put it back). With heavy barrels it's allways better to float and bed. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
