I recently acquired a Model 7 in .308 for my wife. I sighted it in and it shot awesome, except for an occasional flyer.
A guy I know who has a Model 7 tells me his is very fickle with pressure on the forearm. Particularly if he uses a sling to support a standing shot. This gentleman claims the Model 7 is designed/built without a free floating barrel and you don't want to free float the barrel.
Now a local gunsmith that builds long-range rifles is telling me that I need to float the barrel because he thinks that is the problem.
Any of you guys with experience with this model that can offer some help here?
Thanks in advance.
