[QUOTE="Ballistic64, post: 97765, member: 3401"] Tuners have been popular in the rimfire community for a long time but with centerfire,your getting into a new frontier.The main reason thier so popular with rimfire is the shooters dont have as much control over the ammunition as centerfire (reloadable cases).If you have access to Precision Magazine there has been some very good articles on the subject by Bill Calfee but the science of tuners is still largely unexplored in centerfire rifles,probably because thier not legal in centerfire benchrest comp. About 8-10 yrs ago I had a Winchester model 70 with the Boss (barrel tuner/muzzle brake in one)on it but Im pretty much convinced now that it was a marketing ploy by Browning after reading up on the subject somewhat.I believe the Boss attachment on the Model 70 wasnt near heavy enough to have much effect at all,especially with a centerfire round like the 264 Win Mag.I got fair accuracy out of it but the adjustment of the Boss didnt seem to make much difference.Itll probably be some time before some serious research is done with the centerfires.
