[QUOTE="ArmedAviator, post: 650906, member: 47986"] I new to rifles. So I tried to float the barrel in the hot tub, it sank! did i do something wrong? Seriously, i am new to rifles. Got distracted by the nice lines and bought a winchester model 70 xtr sporter varmint in .223. I'm pretty sure it sat in a safe or gun cabinet since the late eightys. Cleaned it up, replaced the scope, had the trigger adjuster from 9 lbs down to 3.5 lbs. I came across the info on floating barrels. I can run a dollar bill from the action end to about the sling knobby thing. Then it sticks. I took the sling thing out and it still sticks around the point. Should a winchester 70 barrel float all the way out? Thanks for any advice [/QUOTE]
