[QUOTE="crkckr, post: 2782133, member: 78056"] Virtually anything that put pressure on or reduces pressure on your barrel can have an effect on barrel harmonics, which directly affects accuracy. My Win 270 Win has akways been a good shooter so I decided to improve things by glass bedding it. It went from .5 groups to 3" groups and I was ready to shoot myself for ruining it. After some consideration, I realized that I had removed the lump of wood at the end of the forend that was putting upward pressure on the barrel. So I made up some shims and installed them and now the rifle is doing better than ever! Like to have scared the crap out of myself with that one! There is little doubt that barrel tuners work and can, at times, make a huge difference. Even on something like a 16" AR, installing the 6" "flash hider" that usually goes on an 11" barrel made a difference of about a half MOA at 100 yds. I'd like to have a tuner instead of the extra 6" but along with a bunch of other things I want, it's not that high on my list of things I just have to get (which is right next to the things I can actually afford!). The lists seldom match up very well! Cheers, crkckr [/QUOTE]
