Re: Benchrest shooting

One more question for you, I have a S&W M&P 15 Sport where the handguard is NOT free floating. No matter how I hold it there is some level of pressure or flex/harmonics/other pressure being exerted on it...Having said that, when I rest the barrel on the bags it's very consistent and dare I say accurate. Yes I get some flyers like anyone but should I rush off and replace it to a free float or just live with it and assume the handguard resting on the bag will dampen this effect? I'd rather not replace it at the moment.</div></div>
I'm still unclear as to the question...will with hurt the barrel? No. Accuracy. Yes...it just depends to what extent. "Accuracy" is relevant. What do YOU consider accurate? 12in gong at 300 yards, or 3in groups at 300? If you wanted to shoot itty bitty groups, you bought the wrong rifle. If you're happy with how it's shooting, don't change anything.
