[QUOTE="4bycamper, post: 531177, member: 17128"] +1 on the previous posts. Also, I think the "Know how to shoot them" is about a shifting point of aim that changes depending on what the rifle is sitting on. The only "light rifle" I have left is a Winny 270 wsm. 6 1/2 lbs. If I an holding the rifle in my hands and standing or sitting, it will shoot to bullseye. When I go to the concrete bench, put my front rest on it, and plop the rifle forestock on the rest, It will be 2 1/2 moa off. diagonally. When I put my left hand on the rest and put the forestock in my hand, the rifle is back to bullseye. When I put the barreled action in a heavier laminated stock, this problem goes away. But the 6 1/2 lbs goes away also. It's just a thing. I think this has something to do with the barrel gyrations due to the pencil barrel. None of my heavier barrels have this problem. And yes, they are all free floated barrels. Hope this helps. Your mileage may vary. [/QUOTE]
