^ And that's exactly why I was asking the OP.
How much deflection does he get, when he shoots.
There are shooters out there who will load a sling enough (with a setup that has the front ironsight on the rail/handguard) that it can make for a significant shift, to say nothing about a bipod.
So then here's the follow-up question,
kyletex1911a1.
Do you feel that the extra accuracy/precision from shooting off your bipod/bag (or even sling) should be complemented by free-floating that forend, and thus make it worth the spend?
Embarrassingly, after 6 years in the hobby, I have yet to dip my toe into the precision/long-range world.
But even so, I know enough that the idea with a biopd is to load it consistently. In being ignorant of knowing how to actually execute to that level of skill (thankfully, I have so far been range-limited to 200 yards), I simply load mine "heavy," and in doing so, I know that when I shoot my hobby AR, which is not free-floated, I get quite a shift in POA/POI, versus the same with my free-floated ones.
