[QUOTE="West Calamus, post: 1933776, member: 110228"] Just finishing up on build in 300 win mag with a 26 inch #6 or lightweight target with microbrake on end. So barrel weighs above 5 1/2 lbs. About 50 rds. down the pipe. I dropped the build back into the reworked barrel channel on original wood stock. Bedded 3/4 inch in front of recoil lug then floated out to about 3/4 inch from end of stock. Was fixing to remove the contact point at end of barrel so rifle would be free floated all the way. Then I started thinking!!! Do these heavy barrels have harmonics like lighter barrels or are the barrels so stiff that they have negligible harmonics or do I need to bed barrel at end of the stock for support? Appreciate all helpful advice from the experienced and more knowledgeable. THX [/QUOTE]
