[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1029417, member: 27307"] RichJD13, First of all, my heartiest congratulations to your photographer. He did a fine job! Second, it is the contact of the barrel to stock at the end of the forearm that we are concerned with. This is ostensibly where the problems can occur. The barrel should be free floated all the way out. Old school garbage about using a pressure pad at the end of the forearm when sporter barrel contours are used is passe. High quality cut rifled barrels do not need this pressure pad and as you can see, your rifle evidently doesn't either. Usually this is a product of improper bedding of the barreled action, allowing the position of the barrel to be tilted slightly towards the forearm. The correction can be simply to relieve the pressure in the forearm where the barrel experiences contact if the action bedding is correct. If the action is slightly tilted in the bedding, this bedding must be removed and a fresh start made with new bedding. I would also remove the barreled action from the stock to determine where the bedding stops in front of the receiver. If it is closer to the receiver than the point at which the dollar bill stopped, you will need to correct all of the bedding. Regards. [/QUOTE]
