[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1313694, member: 24284"] Pressure points in forearms are finicky thing. Sometimes useful, sometimes not. They may just need 'tuning', as they're creating too much upward pressure. Then again, they just might need to be removed so the barrel floats. Some light weight barrels perform better with upward pressure, some do their best floated. The idea of upward pressure is to dampen vibration, to help control the harmonics of the barrel. Too much upward pressure and accuracy suffers, too little pressure and accuracy suffers. Pick your own poison! Remember, lightweight hunting rifle only need to be repeatable for three shots, they are not 'target rifles' that need to shoot 5 ten shot groups. [/QUOTE]
