[QUOTE="kimba, post: 1029792, member: 85888"] the idea free float is to eliminate pressure points. Bedding secures - mostly the action into the stock tight so it does not move around. some folks do bed entire barrel or part of it about an ich from the action lug. Most barrels shoot better free floated when thicker than sporter type barrel. Some sporters shoot better with a pressure point at end of stock. Only testing can say for sure. One down side to pressure point is in a stock prone to warpage - that can really change upward pressure on barrel. [/QUOTE]
