[QUOTE="Tommo64, post: 2018641, member: 107976"] I have a Tikka T3X lite in 308 and yes, when shooting off a bench you have to hold that forend firm. Also, these rifles have a pressure point in the forestock, two small projections that support the barrel just forward of the taper. Therefore, these barrels are not truly free floating and so accuracy will be affected by the barrel becoming hot. I chose to bed my action and free float the barrel and saw a definite improvement in terms of group sizes. [/QUOTE]
