[QUOTE="shootinfool, post: 460607, member: 9140"] I have a few of the "light barrels" and they are excellent shooters with the barrel free floated. If you have had a smith custom fit the barrel to the action and have a good solid foundation (bedding of the action and pillars) free floating the barrel is the best way to go. If you have gone to all the trouble of creating a stress free, perfectly fitted environment for the rest of the gun why then introduce pressure and stresses anywhere else. The purpose of bedding the action and pillars is to releive stress and put the pressure points where they should be. Of course this is just my opinion though and you can take it for what it is worth.
