If your sling is mounted to the sling loop on the bottom or side of the a-frame, or on a non-freefloat handguard, the tension of cranking down on the sling to stabilize the rifle will cause a minute amount of flex in the barrel, and will screw with your accuracy. You'd probably never notice at close range, but it definitely makes a difference at longer distances. Same deal with mounting a bipod to a non-free-float handguard.
Edit: whoops, eracer beat me to it.
