Limbsaver Sharpshooter X-Ring question
- Thread starter SFW
- Start date
Is your barrel floated, or not? Run a dollar bill along the barrel betwixt the barrel and stock. If the dollar bill slides all the way to the recoil lug, it's floated. If it doesn't, it's not.
I bought one of those rings also to try several years ago. I found that it made little difference, but it's installed on my .30-06 and it will stay there. Mine is about 3" from the muzzle and it's very sticky. When I lean my rifle against something, it stays stuck to whatever I lean it against. FWIW, my barrel is floated.
It's ugly as sin, but that's my primary hunting rifle. It gets mistreated fairly often and that doo-hickey on the dangerous end helps keep me from dropping it.

My new 700 SPS Buckmasters is not free floated. It has a contact point near the end of the stock. I've heard only the wood stocked Remingtons are free floated.
And I tried that ring on my M77 MkII all-weather .300 Win Mag. It seemed to help a very tiny bit when near the end of the stock but not enough to put up with the ugliness of it. My Ruger has a contact point near the end of the stock so I think that was dampening the "harmonics" enough where the limbsaver gadget didn't make much difference.
