A long, heavy tube with a few holes and an accessory weight designed for a Harrel/Hoehn tuner. I don't know the exact design criteria, but they seem to work well for some, and not for others. Each rifle is very specific about what it wants tuning wise. Some rifles respond to it, some don't. You won't know until you try it on yours.
Have a friend with two rifles, one has it, the other does not. Both rifles shoot great.

Does anyone thread the earlier Hohn tuners? If I have a couple of them what good are they now. garrisone.
Well, sometimes you don't need extra weight, but they can be threaded. I think a guy charged me $15-20 to do it.

I just had one done by a local centerfire gunsmith. Frankly, any competent machinest should have no problem, just take along what you want to thread into it.

A bloop tube is a hollow tube that fits onto the end of the barrel. Originally designed to allow more distance between front and rear sights by mounting the front sight on the bloop tube. Look at an Anschutz catalog to see some. bob

Threading Old Hoehn Tuner
Gather them up because I have an old one to thread and I will do yours at
the same time. Bring them next week to the match.

You guys are still not saying what it does?? If you have a tuner, why do you need this noodle thing with a tuner????? Dont make no since to me??? And if you are shooting BR you dont need one to make your sight radius longer, because you are useing a scope.

A bloop tube is found, for example, on the Anschutz 2013 with 500mm barrel. And, as stated, is slotted for a front sight. The Noodle goes on a tuner in place of weights and for some barrels works better. On one of my rifles I swap a Harrel type tuner with a Noodle with a Von Arrens tuner depending how my rifle feels that day. If I named my rifles this one would be Moody Gal 'caus some days she dosen't like anything I feed her or how I dress her.

I make the noodle. If I try to explain it, it sound like an advertisement. PM me or call Dan Killough. Dan uses them and can explain what they do. James Pappas

A noodle is food made from unleavened dough that is cooked in a boiling liquid. Depending upon the type, noodles may be dried or refrigerated before cooking. The word noodle derives from the German Nudel (noodle)[1] and may be related to the Latin word nodus (knot)[citation needed]. In American English, noodle is a generic term for unleavened dough made from many different types of ingredients. Noodles exist in an abundance of shapes.
In 2005, the oldest noodles yet discovered were found at Qinghai. The 4,000-year-old noodles appear to have been made from millet.[2][3]

2. A weak, foolish, or stupid person.
But then again, that doesn't add value to the thread either.

The "noodle" is a tuner - nothing more, nothing less. When you add it to a rifle that already has a tuner you then have a gun with two tuners. You have the ability to move more weight over a broader range.
The "noodle" sold by Killough is well made and offered in different colors and with several radial holes drilled in it. It should be attractive to many shooters.

No idea what makes it work
I'm not sure what the holes do or the purpose of the rubber, But I do know that they work. Four out of the top five on the A Line used a Noodle or a bloop tube this year. Further I saw Marion using a Noodle at times this year. The winner of the Agg Line used one this year. Also first and second on the 2008 A Line used one last year. My personal opinion is that they stablize the bullet quicker than without and they seem to give an advantage in the wind. I'm not a gunsmith or engineer simply a shooter and these are my observations. Personally, I would not consider shooting without one. Fred
