You're welcome to come to my shop sometime. I'm positive that I can convince you that a tuner will change the group size and shape in under 5 minutes. You do the shooting, I'll move the tuner.Medic505 said:I shoot some benchrest at local matches where we have a production class. Everything on the rifle must be factory. My factory rifle of choice is a Savage LRPV in .22-250. I purchased one of the Limb Savers for the heck of it and I slid that thing all over the barrel and never did see any difference. This rifle shoots very well BTW. The first match I shot with it, I happened to win. I was the only shooter using a tuner at the time. Funny part about this is, next month I was amazed how many tuners showed up at the range. Can you say monkey see, monkey do? LOL

I have one of Erik's tuners on a new TR rifle that is getting stocked by Doan Trevor as I write this. I can't wait to get my hands on it and get a load worked up for Phoenix. I know that tuners work, it just so happened that the limb saver made no difference. Maybe I should have tried two of them on that rifle, you never know. BTW that chunk of rubber can still be found on that Savage. It's my good luck mo-jo.

I have used 2 tuners and have found good results. but lately have just used a good tuned barrel and found more time required to get what i wanted but have found to be more rewarding knowing i tuned my rifle not a sleeve or weight. not diss,n them just walked away.

BoydAllen said:If we are looking at match results alone, I agree, but I have shooting experience that has convinced me that there are advantages to using rubber as part of a tuner, that are not directly related to the overall principle of a simple adjustable weight.
