Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Savage Collectors forearm shapes and group sizes

I do have a couple comparisons of same loads before and after my forearm bracket. There was improvement, but most of my load developement happened after the free-floating. So it's hard to say what my best loads might have done in the un-floated barrels.

Long story of my little forearm bracket experiment, is that "I think" got more accuracy/consistency improvement from switching to a quality heavier barrel, than from free-floating a factory barrel.

Again, practicing shooting off-hand, with my forward hand moved back close to the receiver, has given me my best bench-to-field accuracy comparrison. But with the forearm bracket I don't have to worry about my field-hold affecting the POI.

This one's free-floated too, and it seems to work fine with a Broughton 270 Redding barrel..
