I was curious about the claims made by the company who puts their Straight Jacket on rifles. They claim improved accuracy, reduced recoil, better heat dissipation, and therefore reduced change in POI even after multiple shots. What I found was that the accuracy did not improve, although I'll admit that the Stevens was a constant sub-MOA rifle right out of the box; noticeably reduced recoil; definitely better heat dissipation; and tighter groups after multiple shots. The weight of the rifle went up about 3 pounds, the balance point was changed dramatically, and the "Ugly Factor" went off the scale. All in all, I wish I hadn't done it! The conversion certainly made a rather bland, unassuming rifle a real item of interest at the local ranges, though.
