[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1392889, member: 4191"] The one rifle I've seen shoot better with the forearm point pressure, compared to fully free floated, my Marlin .22 WMR. I carefully glass bedded the rifle action and stock with the barrel completely free floated from the action forward. It shot worse than it did before I glass bedded it. So I decided to add some slight pressure to the end of the forearm. Much better than free floated. But not a lot better than it was as bedded from the factory. But this is a cheesy action and stock compared to most high powered rifles. Not the best comparison... But light forearm tip pressure does occasionally calm down a rifle that's behaving like a wild hare. This based on the observations of a local gunsmith with over 30yrs gunsmithing. He hears about lots of experiences from his customers. Happens to be my brother, so I get to pick his brain more than most of his customers. [/QUOTE]
