What I want to know is...who was holding the shaving cream when you shot it? LOL

Actually, what you describe is quite unusual, but may be caused by a combination of barrel warping that may put it close enough to the barrel channel to make it bounce off when it vibrates. The location of the contact may be on the lower right side of the channel.

If there is at least 1/16" of space between barrel and forend, bounce may not be the problem. If there's a pressure pad at the end of the forend, see just how much force is needed to lift the barrel away from it. If it's less than 3 lbs, it could be the problem. However, if the barrel is fully free-floating, you might consider installing a pressure point with about 5 lbs of upward force.

If you have sling swivels on your rifle when shooting from the bench, the front swivel stud could be contacting the rest. That could cause the problem you describe.
