Kestros stock forend deflection?

[jawjaboy]

I'm curious what amount of forend deflection, bottom of forend to barrel, are you seeing on your Kestros stock? This is assuming your action is bedded properly.

Some, for sure. They're flexy. Doesn't hurt anything.

Smack bottom of forearm with hand. Did stock hit barrel?

Flex, never good. Only in diving boards at the pool.

No.

Thanks.

I think you need about .100" of barrel clearance to allow heat to escape.
The flex can be a problem if you are putting "down" pressure with your grip. Different amount of pressure changes the harmonics.
