Reynolds, it's my experience that free floating a barrel that ends up shooting less accuracy is caused by poor bedding around the receiver in the first place. Epoxy bedding the receiver made all 6 rifles I treated this way shoot groups about half the size of what they did before.

This is one reason why some rifles shoot off rests atop a bench more accurate with a pressure point under the barrel at the fore end's tip.
