What's a vibration dampner ?

Barrel tuner you adjust by moving it towards/away from muzzle - https://www.amazon.com/LimbSaver-Sharpshooter-X-Ring-Barrel-Dampener/dp/B004WH6ZLA?th=1

But is the group with dampener smaller than without it?

 

[CoalCrackerAl]

Smaller with it. I also tested my 223 savage yesterday. It did good with it too. Im very happy i bought them.

Was this from a rest or in hand?
Not sure how big your + is but If it was from a rest it looks like a big group (you should be able to get smaller), if it was from in hand it's a good group.

 

[CoalCrackerAl]

From a rest. Here is a target from awhile back before i had the dampener.

What size scope do you have on your gun? Or is it iron sights?

 

[CoalCrackerAl]

It's a Vortex diamond back 6x24x50 FFP

770’s we’re never super accurate guns to begin with so a dampener making your groups shrink is a great thing

What's the barrel profile?

What's the barrel profile?

Here is a pic of one. Im not sure what barrel profile means. Other than heavy vs thin.

I don't think it was the rifle dampener. I think it was the special brass you used. Good shooting.

Almost impossible to slip onto the barrel, for me. Tried 2 different positions. No improvement in accuracy. Savage Axis 6.5 Creedmoor, benchrested on 18 power with tested load, with and without the Deresonator. May work for others?

Average accuracy, on 18 power with 140 MB will average 1.09" @100 yds 5 shot groups, 6 groups. Not great, average, ok for hunting. No change with Deresonator

 

[CoalCrackerAl]

Yes they are hard to slip on. Oil helps too. Some have reported no difference in accuracy as you did. I also read no benefit to 22 lr.

A couple weeks later, i made this crude, 1 pound barrel weight to try on the 6.5. Tried 2 different positions. Didnt help accuracy.

I expected bullet impact to be lower on target at 100 yards, surprise, bullets hit higher. Strange, same scope adjustment & load.

This test used up the last of my 500 Barnes 140 gr Match Burner bullets.

They do work, but you do need to shoot a load or ammo that is some what accurate in the gun. I haven't had time to thread the barrel on my new CZ 457 Varmint 22lr in order to use my ATS tuner, so I installed one of the Limbsaver dampners on the barrel just to see if it would improve my groups. I was surprised with the results.

These two groups were shot without the Limbsaver on the barrel.

This is after I installed it on the barrel. The one flyer was my fault!

So that's a thinner/lighter hunting barrel profile?
I expect it works better on barrels with more resonance as in lighter barrels compared to bull profile barrels.

Just a SWAG, no experience with damping barrel resonance.

770 is a very light barrel profile. The one I owned had more chatter on the feed ramp than someone doing a penguin plunge. Had to practically give the rifle away.

Had a friend that used both that slip on and also a strut arrangement on a couple of mini 14's he owned..........both showed notably better accuracy with the devices..........tho their' kinda award in my view.
