Saw an article over the weekend in the current edition of Outdoor Life magazine on improving the accuracy of lever action rifles written by Dave Emary of Hornady fame. Basically says to have the screws fastening the magazine tube and barrel bands on the looser end of tight to allow the barrel to move a bit when fired as all barrels whip a bit (see super slo-mo video's of rifles being shot and there's an appreciable amount of barrel whip).
Think I'm going to try this on my Marlin 1895 and see if I see any change in accuracy.
