[QUOTE="Gene, post: 584218, member: 7402"] Many years ago, Remington produced wood sporter stocks with a pressure pad at the foreend tip. I tried sanding them down flush to float the barrel, and soon learned that it usually destroyed accuracy. Frequently a proper size shim would restore accuracy. I have found just the opposite with heavy barrels; usually (not always) floating will improve accuracy. You always take a chance when you change any barrel harmonics. [/QUOTE]
