[QUOTE="dfanonymous, post: 1765578, member: 97050"] Keep in mind a lot of what was already said in regards to harmonics still depends on other factors. Consider free floating your barrel before getting a dampener. Dampeners were good quick “fix” on old wood stocks or some cheap synthetics for those that didn’t want to spend the time/coin on inletting the barrel channel or bedding the action/recoil lug ect. Which brings me to the stock, if you are concerned about barrel whip, I think flex is as common of an issue, especially amongst factory rifles. It’s the reason I use chassis more so then not, rigidity. That’s not to say SOME whip or flex is bad for groups, that’s not what determines precision...but rather if the gun does it consistently.
