Ferretboy111 Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Hello all I've just bought a 1970 BSA .243 rifle which has not got a floating barrel but a fixed one on the stock. I'm very happy with it but just wondered why new rifles are all floating? Is there any benefits other than cost effectiveness- fitting a mod etc?

stalker58 Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Hi,I think that most of the target shooting boys would say that you fully bed the barrel with something like Acraglass,or float the barrel instead.something to do with the harmonics of the rifle barrel.hope that helps!

If it shoots well enough and you are happy then leave well alone! ATB! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
