That is good info. If I find my Marauder's zero changing, I'll try removing the barrel band."thumper"If I had a gun that sensitive, I'd get rid of it.
My HW100 has the barrel band removed, and it is not sensitive to bumps or POI change at all. I lean it on trees, and never had an issue.
My Webley Spectre (FX cyclone) has a free floated barrel and never an issue.
I had an Air Arms S500 and it would shift the POI if it got handled slightly less than carefully. Removing the barrel band fixed that too.
So I'm not a fan of barrel bands, provided the barrel is sturdy enough to hold itself straight. A gun that flimsy has no place in my safe.
