[QUOTE="j_unzicker, post: 471305, member: 28887"] I have a Remington 700 BDL 7RM (factory walnut stock). I noticed that the forend had a contact point against the barrel about an 1" long. Other than that, the barrel was free. (this spot was right where the swivel stud connects from below). So I hand sanded that area down until I could run a piece of paper under the barrel through that spot and down the whole barrel. Took it to the range and my groups actually opened up a little. I was shooting right at 1 MOA and now I am closer to 1.5 MOA. My question is, "Do some of the factory wood Rem 700 stocks need a pressure point to shoot more accurately?" I guess I just assumed that all barrels would shoot better free floated. Would you suggest that I do anything to recreate a pressure point in that same area? The action is not bedded. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. [/QUOTE]
