[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1522703, member: 5219"] My friends and I have had no issues with totally floating barrels in many Remington action rifles with barrels lighter, as heavy or heavier than your barrel. Some of these rifles are used in 1000 yd BR competitions. I have a finished 30" Bartlein in a Shehane tracker stock that is totally free floated with a SA Rem 700 action. This barrel is huge yet there are no issues with the full float. The monster rife weighs just over 20 lbs! It is an incredibly accurate 6 BR. Recoil is a fun 2.69 ft/lb Specs from listing on Grizzly Industrial where I got it: [LIST][*]Caliber 6mm[/LIST] [LIST][*]Twist: 5R 1:8[/LIST] [LIST][*]Length: 30" Finished, Blank is 31"[/LIST] [LIST][*]Contour: 1.250" x 5.000" Straight, Taper to 1.00"[/LIST] [LIST][*]Bore/Groove: .237/.243[/LIST] [LIST][*]Approx. Raw Barrel Weight: 8.6 lbs.[/LIST] [/QUOTE]
