Resting Rifle in the Rack

[majohnson2]

One of the ranges I go changes targets every half hour. During that time they require that all rifles be placed in their racks. The barrel contact point is about mid way the length of my barrel. My concern is, can placing the rifle in the stand with a warm to touch barrel, cause any damage the barrel?

My rifle is no light weight, it comes in at just over 19lbs without ammo or magazine.

Boy if it does your receiver is screwed! I honestly can not see how it possibly could.

Nope, do it all the time. Still bug holing.

If your rifle is impacted by resting it on a rack, you need to scrap it for money towards another rifle.

I didn't think it would but figured a run up the flag pole and see what other thought. The barrel is rather substantial considering it only has a little over .250" taper to it and the 1st 5" is 1.250". It shoots nice tidy little groups. Thanks for the input.
