Help with a 300Rum in 700 sps stainless

[Newbweatherby]

well again my sons surprised me my faithful Remington 700 in 300 weatherby after 27 plus years finally took it last breath about 2 &1/2 months ago so i sold all my belonings short of my kids to get the Remington 700 sps stainless in .300 rum model on a payment plan (layaway) and they surprised me today any how long story short ,i noticed the synthetic stock forend on the stock is not free floated !?So my question is does it have to be with a synthetic stock with no swelling or shrinkage to impact change in aim point. All my wood stocked riffles i have had to trim and free floated barrell and accuglass action do i meed to do the same with Remington synthetic stock.thank for valuable input next i need to mount my scope on it but iam just curious as wjy it is not free floated

Should be floated. Shoot and see how it does. Stock work is probably the best money spent on the rifle. You may want to look into an aftermarket stock someday. HS Precision are very nice for the money.
