When you are big game hunting, it's not going to help at all, unless you plan on hitting the animal with your 6th shot(or so) after you heated up your barrel.
Exactly!! I have several wood stock rifles that have been hunted with in the rain and snow for years, I have yet to have one move enough to change point of impact. If you are a target shooter and trying to milk every bit of accuracy out of your rifle then yeah, maybe. But then again if you are a target shooter and are serious about accuracy you just go buy you a H.S. Presision or a McMillian stock that has a full length aluminum bedding block.
