It is not my intent to thread-jack but since it was brought up (above), I think it's important to note that barrel wobble and what is colloquially known as barrel "whip" are two different things. Mechanically-speaking, something wobbles if it's loose, but you can be assured that the rifle barrel in that video is not loose, given the operator. What we refer to as barrel whip or barrel harmonics is in fact what you're seeing in that video.

Hope this helps,
