Limb saver for rifle barrels
 

Does the limb saver for rifles work, the new one that goes around the barrel Im talking about. I dont see where it could but if yall think it may Ill buy it! I am always looking to becoming more accurate!

I have no idea. What is it supposed to do? I'm with you, I don't see how it could be worth while.

RE: Limb saver for rifle barrels
 

It works on relieving your wallet of extra cash that for sure does the trick.. I am guessing that if one spent enough time with it and I mean a lot of time it might or might not improve accuracy. Personally I would be embarassed to go to camp with one of those things on my barrel

Does anyone have a link to a pic and description of the product ?

This was all I could find Barrel De-Resonator

RE: Limb saver for rifle barrels
 

This product has been out for a while now. The idea behind it is somewhat like glass bedding the barrel in that it is designed to limit and ot stabalize the vibration of the barrel. In rifles where vibration may be causeing inaccuracy it could make quite a bit of difference. Its sort of meant to do the same thing as the boss system without the extra noise of the muzzle brake. I have not tried one yet but I have read reports on other sites that they work pretty well.

Just another gimmick to empty your wallet of cash. I'll tell you what...if anyone buys one let me know. I'm starting to sell tiny rubber squares you glue to your front bumper that greatly reduce the impact of a collision.:D

RE: Limb saver for rifle barrels
 

Don't take this the wrong way, but what about extra practice. That improves accuracy.

RE: Limb saver for rifle barrels
 

Somehow I have missed the ads for this product and don't know what it is or does. I know the Limb Saver recoil pad is a good product.

RE: Limb saver for rifle barrels
 

It might work, but it sure is ugly.

RE: Limb saver for rifle barrels
 

Looks like something that would be discussed on desperate housewives. :D

RE: Limb saver for rifle barrels
 

Having used limbsaver products on my bows for years and having recently put a limbsaver recoil pad on a muzzleloader,I have a lot of confidence in their products.I have spent considerable amounts of money on accurizing rifles (Trigger work A must)but what about having your barrel bedded and floated or the barrel crowned.Those items are more expensive then this new limbsaver product.I don't much care what it looks like if it improves the accuracy of a rifle measurably I would put it on.I have a browning A-Bolt with a boss attachment on it.It looks terrible,but it is extremely accurate.If this limbsaver product dampens the oscillation of the barrel it stands to reason that it should improve the accuracy of the gun.Is it necessary,depends upon the gun. I'm sure we all have a lot of stuff that is not necessary but contributes to our confidence in our weapons.

If it can get me a 1/2" closer group at 200 yds it's a keeper.....NOT!!![:'(]
What's a half inch in a hunting rifle. Rem 700 out of the box give sub 2" groups at 200 yards. With that kind of accuracy, why would you wish to relieve your wallet of cash which could be better spent on more ammo down range? Trigger work, glass bedding, free floating, crowning, all in my opinion, fishing lures for hunters. Last time I checked, there wasn't a big game or for that matter a most small game that couldn't be killed with that kind of groupings, provided the hunter did his job.;)

RE: Limb saver for rifle barrels
 

I did not want to hear junk when people have no idea, I was wonder more or less has anyone tried it. More of curiousity killed the cat type thing!

RE: Limb saver for rifle barrels
 

Looks like it would work to me.
Looks like it would help reduce recoil also.

I have one, you can call it ugly, you can call it a gimmick, you can call it anything you want. For those who bash without trying you are not as smart as you think you are...

It works took my Sako 7mm STW loaded with 160 gr Nosler Accubond from just over an inch to +/- half inch. Every group I shot had 2 bullets touching. It is simply awesome. For the $20 bucks it cost it was more than worth it!!:):):):):):):)

RE: Limb saver for rifle barrels
 

If I hear a few more good reviews like that Ill buy it. My gun groups within 2 or so inches with the best shooting ammo that I found that shot well through it. My gun is not wooden nor does it have a glass bed so it might help. I could see where it would help a wooden! Wood swells so bad!

RE: Limb saver for rifle barrels
 

My Sako is Stainless Synthetic. I guess the way I look at it is you owe it to the animal you hunt to kill it as quick and humane as possible. So if you are grouping at 2" and shooting out to 300+ yards that is 6"+. If you could get that group to 1" or less why wouldn't you?? The would be a lot more dead animals than wounded ones. Can eat what you don't kill.

RE: Limb saver for rifle barrels
 

Two inches is with bags not a rest that holds the gun that makes a little difference!

RE: Limb saver for rifle barrels
 

You are right it makes a difference. But 2" is 2" no matter how you slice it. Lot's of guy's shooting off bags are sub 1". If you think the bags might be the reason invest in a rest instead. I shoot off a rest and the Deresonator helped me. It just gives that much more confidence when shooting. Going either way should help your accuracy. Try it, it is only $20 bucks which is way cheaper than a rest. It will not make you a worse shot that is for sure.

RE: Limb saver for rifle barrels
 

I used to finance huntin' trips by tunin' up beaters and resellin' 'em. If I had a $20 method of accurizin' a rifle back then I would have been huntin' in Africa instead of some other state. [8D]

RE: Limb saver for rifle barrels
 

You do make a vallid point, nothing works better than a properly sighted in, and clean gun!

RE: Limb saver for rifle barrels
 

My My so much anger over someone's opinion. How thin skinned we have become:D. BTW I am very familiar with a 7 STW in a Sako 75. There is another poster here named Bigcountry who now owns the rifle and he gets under an inch with factory ammo. Maybe you need to work on your load development or just use factory ammo.

RE: Limb saver for rifle barrels
 

Thin skinned maybe. Never claimed to be a great shot. The only thing I claimed was it worked for me.... And for twenty bucks no matter what it looks like why wouldn't you. It beats the hell out of hundreds of dollars of ammo becoming a better shot the old fasion way, not to mention the time it may take to do it. Most good shots don't come without lots of practice, of which I personally don't have enough time for. So for $20 it makes me a better shot, ugly or not. Problem solved.

RE: Limb saver for rifle barrels
 

I will admit it does not look the greatest but if it help me be alittle more consistent....OK. I wanted to put a muzzle break on my .338 but I decided I did not want to alter the the gun..so this might work for me.
