[QUOTE="manitou, post: 2458100, member: 105280"] IIRC the difference between the barrels (at the bore end) is .630 vs .660, which would be less in the stock gap. That would be .015" each side at MOST. A human hair or normal writing paper is three-thousandths. Put five together and you will be dealing with a bit less in gap each side. Not much. Some factory guns and modern "tactical" stocks have more than that. I actually have opened several of my more flimsy fore end stocks up to more than that for safe clearance off a front rest, and they are very good shooters with no issues. Heck, the TC Dimension rifles probably had .030" gap each side with their sporter barrel, and I have one that is an abosulte tack driver that I hunted whitetails and antelope with quite a bit... with 600+ yard kills and no problems with debris in the barrel chanel. Personally, I wouldn't worry about it a bit. [/QUOTE]
