[QUOTE="4bycamper, post: 318446, member: 17128"] Good one. And here I've been wanting a stiffer barrel. Maybe I just need to store the rifles closer together.:D Have been using electrical tape for years. Funny thing is, when I tried it at the range I got a better group than without ! Seriously. the tape was 1 1/2 inches down each side of the barrel. I changed it after each shot because of the .277 cal hole in the tape. POI did NOT change at all. In fact POI changes more due to a dirty barrel than tape. The rifle is a 270 WSM. It always shoots around 0.8 MOA with 150 ABs when I due my part, and it likes the barrel taped. :) [/QUOTE]
