[QUOTE="hemiford, post: 1073822, member: 72104"] New project build: Rem 700 7stw with the Wyatt long mag box modification and long & heavy Benchmark MTU barrel. It seems to me that the new barrel, if floated, will act as a stupendous cantilever hanging off of the 700 receiver. How much of the barrel length can be bedded onto the stock ( supported ) before it's really not floating anymore ? I'd be using a wood laminate stock. The whole benefit of floating the barrel is so that flexing of the stock with temperature and humidity won't push the barrel and change POI, am I correct ? [/QUOTE]
