Hello, folks
Got a little question about blocking a barrel. Situation: .338-378, chambered on Geske Action, no block, 36" tube, 1.450" straight on out. Stocked in a McMillan Prone {I know, weird choice, but originally I had concieved this as a mobile unit to be fired off a bi-pod. It rides the bags good, if I take the time to work the ears into agreement. It IS one heavy S.O.B, though....--limiting my walkable range to about six miles.
} Anyhow, anyone with experience want to comment; was a block necessary? No, yes, maybe? I had been told that it was not, but I am sitting here pondering this, and thought I should ask.
