[QUOTE="ShootnMathews, post: 996213, member: 59915"] Honestly, I don't think I've purchased a factory gun in several years that didn't need floated straight out of the box. Bought a 7mm-08 for my dad last year. The stock had two little pads at the tip of the forearm for the barrel to rest on. Scouts honor, at 100 yards with factory ammo I was hard pressed getting rounds on a pie plate. My guess is it was shooting around a 12" group. I took it home and dremelled off the pads. With the same box of shells I lined it up and shot 1" groups. My savage in the post a few back had a 1/8" wide rib at the end of the forearm that the barrel sat on. That too had to go. [/QUOTE]
