Hold your stethoscope on the buttstock and not the barrel, try it to see if you still get the same results.
Kurt,
I did that today and the stethoscope on the stock gives me the same sweet spot location as the stethoscope on the barrel - but it's easier to hear it (clearer) with the stethoscope on the stock for some reason.
OK, It's now four pages into this and I'll say I don't pay any attention to it. I push my forearm against my sticks and call it good. The barrel can do whatever it chooses. I work up my loads based on the barrel free vibrating rather than attempting to use the "node".
