I hope we can agree to disagree…
Here's 5 of my personal Synthetic Stock T3's that I shoot on a regular basis…
All 5 free floated barrels give a consistent shooting base for developing handloads, with no worry of harmonic changes from stock flex or obstructions in the barrel channel, I only need to worry about heat soak… All 5 guns did shoot Moa or sub-Moa groups as TIKKA claimed before floating the barrels, but for every good group you would have twice as many with fliers and situations similar to double grouping caused by stock on barrel contact from heat or fixing the stock on bags or bipod, none of that after the barrels were floated.Each of these rifles will receive a full action bedding or complete stock change if there is any stock compression issue in the future degrading accuracy,… Thats the only time you need to bed these stocks, is if you already have compressed or damaged the action/mag area and can't get a correct solid repeatable action seating & torque setting…you don't need to jump right into a full bedding job if you float the barrel and accuracy improves…thats my approach with these synthetic stocks. It may go against the grain on most traditional thinking but these 5 rifles (even the Battue) can punch a 3 shot single hole group quite often at 100 with handloads…the same approach as worked for numerous friends and guys at my range. So I'm not spreading or selling snake oil, just a lot of experience with these guns.
