So, everyone knows that a target rifle has a free floating barrel....... Why does the Esprit Carabine offer a clamped barrel option?

The original GE600, Mec, Unique etc was in my opinion gorgeous looking stock, and one I'd love to have shot with. Missed opportunities and poor timing prevented this.
However, I'm now in a position to possibly purchase a new stock and the new version is looking good, the clamped version has peaked my interest as I'm thinking I could swap between actions without the need for an adapter, I now also own a non standard centre 10 rifle, a stock to fit would be custom, a barrel clamping one wouldn't....

But a target rifle has to be free floating? Yes???
Can anyone give me reasons to think otherwise?

Bing!
