[QUOTE="TexasSportsman, post: 2103306, member: 115081"] True, they are not free floating except for the #3 contoured barrel. Because people want a light weight rifle the weight is removed from the barrel. To keep the harmonic balance reasonable on the thinner barrels they are not free floating otherwise the barrel vibration would affect accuracy. Does that mean Weatherby rifles are sub standard. They are NOT. I happen to prefer Browning rifles but the one Weatherby rifle I would buy if available would be the Weatherby Safari.
