Respectfully, I don’t think a free-floated barrel is going to remedy the problem at all. I think it would only make it worse in some cases. Theoretically, if you take the barrel of, say, a Theoben Rapid, if it were to expand or heat up, guess what, the scope isn’t going to follow it. You see,…Read more

I got .22 edgun, .25 cricket.

Edgun = Fast spare parts, Cricket = Slow like virtually never.
Edgun = perfect accuracy, Cricket = ok but not perfect.

I enjoy shooting both, but when it comes down to hunting where one shot really count, Edgun is my go-to-gun.

So it’s never one side of a story.
