[QUOTE="LoneTraveler, post: 932169, member: 77249"] I have one Rem. Model 78 308 that likes the forearm pressure on the barrel. I even Glass Bedded the forearm bumps on this rifle. I would shoot the gun with the bumps in contact with the barrel. If it does not satisfy you, try this. Make enough layers of aluminum shims out of pop cans and shim the action up till the barrel is off the bumps. If shimming off the barrel contacts gives better accuracy, Then remove the bumps and free float the barrel. It will just take some experimentation to find the rifles Happy Spot. Good Luck in this adventure. [/QUOTE]
