Examining it, I found where someone had put a sling swivel screw up against the barrel. I cut that off and like magic, it started grouping pretty tightly. At the range one day one of the guys was using a bipod that clamped onto the barrel. He was having great difficulty getting the scope set. I showed him the difference in point of impact between the barrel not being pushed up by the bipod and with. On that particular rifle, it was about a 12 inch shift at 100 yards. Just goes to show what free floating can accomplish... Another thing I have observed is that if the scope is not leveled properly it can have a significant effect on point of impact at longer ranges. I'm an old guy, but I learn something new every day. (I like it that way) Blitzfike
