[QUOTE="LouBoyd, post: 650951, member: 9253"] It's a fact that a dollar today doesn't go nearly as far as it used to. My advice is to take your Win 70 a range and see how well it and you can shoot. Typically you need 500 to 1000 rounds of careful practice spread over maybe a year before you'll be able to tell if a rifle shoots ok, if free floating would help, or if it and/or you are simply hopeless. If you expect to go to the range and shoot consistent sub 1/2 moa groups you're likely to be disappointed. I wouldn't be quick to attribute whatever accuracy you get to the barrel being floated or not. Winchester (USRA) did have a basic understanding of how to build rifles. [/QUOTE]
