[QUOTE="Dr. Vette, post: 520439, member: 22335"] As noted above, Weatherby leaves them in the stocks when they install them. You may leave them in and see how it shoots, or remove them if you wish. Either way, I'd bed the rifle. Aluminum or not you'll do much better if you bed it. I learned this firsthand with a Vanguard which responded beautifully to freefloating the barrel and a good bedding job. That rifle, and a Mark V I just finished, were both stressed by screwing them down tight into the stock. Once that was relieved and the rifle bedded the performance increased markedly. In fact, just worked today on the barrel channel for another Vanguard that I'm bedding. Cautious use of a Dremel followed by a deep well socket wrapped in sandpaper will remove those nubs when the time comes. FYI, other rifle companies such as Remington and formerly Sako also use those supports in the forearm. [/QUOTE]
