[QUOTE="Buano, post: 436487, member: 21641"] There is no reason you can't do a custom rifle, X-Bolt with a BOSS. As an engineer I can see that the Devcon Flexane 94 Flexible Urethane used to bed A-Bolts would tend to deaden vibrations the same way a LimbSaver on your barrel would. If you want to approximate the effect of the Flexane, simply put on a limbsaver band or put a drop or two of silicone sealant between your barrel & stock. The BOSS unit will tune the vibrations on ANY rifle, be it A-Bolt, X-Bolt, or even Mauser. I recently picked up a s/s Model 70 in .300 Weatherby with a BOSS. Haven't got a scope on it yet so I haven't shot it yet. If I like how it performs the rifle will stay in this configuration, if not I'll likely have a Christenson carbon wrapped barrel put on it & have a barrel & BOSS to sell. The BOSS is great in that it lets you control the harmonics of your rifle. A carbon-wrapped barrel has less flex & vibration when fired so controlling the vibration is less an issue. [/QUOTE]
