Any gotchas in shooting without sling studs?

[Commo]

Should I expect any change in POI now that I've removed the sling studs from my Sako Finnlight 7mm-08 in order to make it shoot more smoothly from the bench? It's my hunting rifle so will wear a sling in November, but the studs seem to be a hindrance while in load development mode. I've got a simple Sinclair front rest and just got a Protektor bunny-ear rear bag for my range work but haven't used them together yet.

The front stud screws into an embedded nut in the forearm; it doesn't seem to touch the barrel. The back stud has different threads and seems to screw directly into the composite material.

Thanks,

Commo
