[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1485182, member: 2736"] I place the velcro over the barrel under the scope as close to the action as I can get it so that it is supported buy the bedding when i can. if the barrel is 100% floated , i place it over the front scope ring for the same results. The main reason is to have consistent forces on the rifle. Like many other things, not everyone likes the same thing I do but i use what works best for me even though I may like something better. I am results orientated and will use or do what gives me the best results. I prefer shooting of sand bags, but when testing, I switch to the lead sled to minimize the number of shots fired through the barrel and find that If i set the rifle supports in the same location on the bags I get good results.(Not as good as when on the lead sled but with no change in POI if it is set up right except the group size). I don't own any rifles that won't shoot less than a 1/2 MOA and strive for rifles that will shoot under 1/10 th MOA so a good consistent set up is important when trying to measure in thousandths. Some one on this site uses the quote "Only accurate rifles are interesting" and i subscribe to this way of thinking. Just like any computer , the quality you get out depends on the quality/effort you put in. With bags i can turn a 1/10th MOA rifle into a 1/4 + MOA rifle because of my inconsistencies and the systems inconsistencies. Under field conditions it can be even worse if I don't work at it or take the time to get the best position. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
