[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 83838, member: 10"] [b]Re: 30\" fully floated barrel on Rem 700 LA ok?[/b] Jmden, I have built a tone of 30" barreled 700 based rifles, many with #8 contours and even the Lilja heavy straight taper. I would not go any heavier then this but these will work fine. I would however recommend pillar bedding the stock so that you can torque the receiver screws down to the proper specs and not worry about the wood compressing which it will even with a laminated wood stock. Get her pillared and you will be fine, without pillars I would not recommend this much weight hanging off the receiver. Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
