[QUOTE="idaho elk hunter, post: 843040, member: 68226"] Everyone is currently on the free float bandwagon. INCLUDING ME. But in all seriousness I have rarely seen it improve the accuracy on a heavy barrel gun that was properly bedded. The lighter the barrel typically always shoot better free floated. THE ACTION REALLY NEEDS TO BE PROPERLY BEDDED for this to hold true! Often heavy barrels will shoot better if a little tension is applied to the end of the forearm/barrel. Try the factory tension first and see if the results are to your liking and if they are or are not then proceed from there. DO NOT FIX IT IF IT IS NOT BROKE! [/QUOTE]
