[QUOTE="idaho elk hunter, post: 977819, member: 68226"] Do not free float all the way to the lug! 3 inches might be a little extreme but it is not your problem. Back in the day we used to bed the whole length of the barrel! Some of those shot VERY good. On a #4 contour you should put a pressure point at the beginning of the forend of the stock up against the barrel. It does not take much. A little will do. To see if this will cure or help the problem you can take poster board and fold it into the barrel channel till it contacts the barrel and applies a slight upward pressure on the barrel. Go to the range and do a 5 shot group in 3 minutes. If it doesn't work then its easily removable. Free floating a barrel so a "cardboard box" can fit between the barrel and stock is a waste of time. Check it with a standard envelope that you would mail a letter in. Check to see if there is any resistance in the channel by sliding back and fourth. That is plenty enough clearance. [/QUOTE]
