got this rifle and this $1 bill

[Gil Martin]

My point is merely that with a free-floated barrel I am able to shoot a slow-fire 5-shot group with my rifle, walk down range and paste the target and return to the bench and resume firing. My gun club has 4,000 members and we have lots of shooters. I spend just about every weekend going to the range. I see chaps shoot two or three rounds from a centerfire rifle and then go to great lengths to let the barrel cool down (put it in the shade, apply wet towels or whatever). If that is what they other shooters want to do, so be it. I do not participate in those types of activities. Yes, the barrel gets warm on my rifle, but groups do not suffer and I can shoot unencumbered. All the best...
