[QUOTE="ArmedAviator, post: 650508, member: 47986"] I have a Winchester Model 70 XTR Sporter Varmint in .223 that I picked up for a really nice price. It appeared to have sat in the gun safe of or closet for a decade or two. The oil has sorted of varnished on the bolt. Got it cleaned up nice. Had the local smith put on new rings and LR scope for some fun. Reading everything I can find, came across some discussions about floating barrels. So I ran a dollar up the barrel under the forearm(?). It gets to the rifle sling bolt and sticks. No that's not it, I loosened the sling screw, it still hags about there. Is the model 70 barrel supposed to float? Someone mentioned that Weatherbys and other similar guns touched the stock to the barrel up there. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
