Hello all
I've been building up my hunting rifle and have been told by multiple people that adding a vibration dampener to my barrel I would increase accuracy. Just wondering what everyone's opinion is here? Myth or fact??? Anyone who does believe in them have a link to where they purchased theirs? Thanks!
There are a lot of ways to tune the accuracy of a rifle - I think a dampener would be a last resort. I tried one on a 7mm a few years ago - I got the group to shrink a little bit, but this particular barrel wasn't free floated and by design was making contact with the forend of the stock. I thought I would try a cheap dampener instead of a new stock. Like I said, it helped a little bit, but a new stock, new trigger and some load development did cut the groups in half (It was a remington BDL).
