I've got myself a .308 SPS Tactical and I remember checking when I first got it about whether the barrel was free floating or not and it was. Well the other day I tested it and it wasn't, and it kinda baffled me. After inspection I noticed that it was because the synthetic material is apparently flexible enough that when the gun is resting on the bipod that I put on the end of the stock, it pushes the stock up into the barrel...which I don't consider to be acceptable when it claims to have a free floating barrel. Because regardless of if it were on the bipod or I were resting it on my hand or whatever, the weight of the gun itself is what pushes the stock upward into the barrel. So my question I guess is, is there something that can be done on my end or Remington's end to fix this issue outside of having to buy a new stock? I plan on it one day but until that time I would like to know that my rifle has a truely free floating barrel rather than just a free floating barrel whenever it's sitting on a shelf.
