You heard free-floating hurts accuracy? No sir it increases accuracy

Myth.
A properly bedded action and barrel can be just as accurate as a free floated one. Neither method is more accurate than the other, inherently. It all comes down to the quality of work for each.
All of my vanguards have the factory pressure point and all will shoot sub MOA. hell, some of them shoot less than an inch at 300 yards. There is absolutely nothing wrong with a pressure point.
Free floated barrels started as a manufacturing shortcut to get good accuracy without having to worry about properly bedding your rifle. Free floating does NOT give better accuracy than a properly bedded barrel.
It's become quite the commonly accepted myth...

That's interesting, because I'd say that pressure points are a crutch to cover up poor bedding. Individual rifles may vary, but a properly bedded action and a free floated barrel are the most likely way to get good accuracy.
I'd suggest that you attend a benchrest competition and count the number of rifles that DON'T have free floated barrels.
