Later this year I'll have my 6 Dasher build complete. It will be switch barrel set up so I can shoot BR LG and F Open. The action is a Multi flat BAT B.
Question: Since I will be switching barrels frequently during the shooting season, how far forward (towards the muzzle) of the action do you consider maximum to clamp the barrel? I know contour has something to do with this and closer to the action is best but I was wondering if you leave your scope mounted during a barrel swap? I was thinking of removing the sunshade and clamping just forward of my March. I went with the Farrells barrel vise. Seems to me that there could be barrel stress by going too far forward.
