[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 62983, member: 10"] Fourinone, Barrel tuners are designed to fine tune the barrel harmonics to get the barrel to perform as consistantly as possible. In a properly built rifle, the barrel still vibrates but the vibration between the barrel and receiver are greatly controled compared to a factory rifle with poor fitting. Those using barrel tuners on match grade rifles are trying to tune the barrel harmonics for the BR match winning group. You could take any of these rifles and shoot very small groups because the rifles are built properly. BUT, to win a BR match you need the best and this means tuning barrel harmonics as well. Say a match rifle will cut .250" groups all day long at the competition range they are used at. This is great accuracy but it will not win most BR matches. They are just taking it to the next level in controlling barrel vibration, this will further cut group size down but it is not a result of controling reveiver/barrel vibration, it is simply getting that muzzle to be in the exact same location when the bullet leaves the bore shot after shot. For 95% of the shooting done by shooters in this site including myself, barrel tuners really will not show much improvement over a top quality built bolt action rifle. Good Shooting!!
