Well modern dictate is a free floated barrel.

With most of the milsurps from ww2 and before using barrel bands and nose caps, that kept the barrel rigid in the stock, say 91/30 and enfield, that had "sniper grade accuracy".

How does the modern free float convention actually work out in your opinion?

THeir are a lot of pre 1900 carbines and rifles with solid nose caps that lock the barrel in place, that deliver good accuracy that beats MOST rifled shotguns using sabots.
