[QUOTE="cdherman, post: 843030, member: 12282"] OK, I have a friends 270 that shoots perhaps 1.5 - 2.0" groups with factory ammo. I like a challenge and told him I'd work on some loads. He lent me the gun for Summer (time to get going, eh?), so that I could measure the distance to lands (have Stoney Pt COAL measure and 270 dummy case), as I believe that if you can, seating to the lands is best for accuracy, at least to start with.... Decided to check and see if it was free floated tonight. Not a chance. And when I pull the action, it looks for all the world as if Remington purposely put some sort of "hump" in the barrel channel right where the sling bolt sits. Do they intend to do that? Should I Dremel it out? I am a free float fan -- don't have a single bolt rifle that isn't -- but am I missing something? I have not messed with a new factory rifle in years, at least not one with a wood stock. Its just a garden variety BDL. Nice looking gun really. Walnut stock. Hate to whittle on a friends gun till I know all the facts..(or opinions too!) [/QUOTE]
