- You cant really "float a barrel" unless the gun is designed for it. A
- floating barrel is one that does not touch the stock at any point other than
- the action, where it would be bolted. The Anschutz guns are held to the stock
- with one or two bolts, for example, and have floating barrels. If your gun
- can accomidate such a mod., then simply remove the wood from under the barrel.
-
- You may also find that glass bedding the action will reduce vibrations
- caused by the firing of the ammo. Speaking of ammo, I reccomend the Lapua
- Dominator .22 cartriges.

- Good luck,
