The band has to fit tight enough to not loosen with recoil. You don't have the through pin rifle stocks have just in front of the band to help keep the band from sliding. With the new Criterion barrel I have on my sporter the band is now a bit loose than before and I still have the through pin. I have to file down the sling tab to get a tighter fit before shooting it.
