[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 743634, member: 48043"] That forward contact pad has peeved me more than once on a remmy. I've only got one of 4 of the rems I own currently shooting with the forward pad, and it's my 300 rum. My 7stw, 7 rem, and 375h@h have all been floated. My 300 rum is a bdl J-key rifle and has had NO alterations and is a consistant 1/2 moa rifle. My 7stw has been through the mill and is still a fair but not stellar rifle. You can put a lot of $ into a rifle, but sometimes they either shoot or they don't. An aside here; my 300 rum is easily the most crooked rifle I own, as I can't even put the scope caps on my 6-18x nikon when zero'd if I'm using weaver bases-- I had to use Leopold to take advantage of windage. It'll do 1/2 moa with monotony. Start with the barrel re-chamber or replace ( gunsmith will often insist on truing the action on a barrel replace) and either tune or replace the trigger. Go from there as you deem necessary but unless you are simply throwing money at it, you may actually want to shoot for accuracy to see if it "is soup yet" as a buddy says when he asks if something is done before you do a lot more than you really have to with the rifle.
