[QUOTE="memtb, post: 2731428, member: 75451"] As the bullets/loads that are used in this rifle are developed with the swivel on the barrel…..I sincerely doubt that it will randomly effect the barrel harmonics. Also, the rifle is “fully bedded”, with the swivel only about 3 to 4” beyond the “fully bedded” stock fore end …..leaving very little unsupported barrel “to be effected” by a swivel, which weighs near nothing! I will say though, that I hesitate to use a tight sling as a shooting aid……that’s what shooting sticks are for! My little rifle can fairly consistently keep 3 under 2” (sometimes better) @ 300 yards! As my personal range limit on game is 600, I believe that the rifle is suitable for that range.…..After all it’s a hunting rifle! 😉 It certainly wouldn’t meet the expectations of a true long range shooter…..but, it meets the expectations of this long range “hunter”! memtb [/QUOTE]
