[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 935475, member: 24284"] There are no absolutes when it comes to forearm pressure. It can take any form, from too much, to not enough, to not needed. Some sporter weight barrels respond well to some forearm pressure, provided the pressure is 'not too much'. Forearm pressure effects barrel harmonics, so, too little my not dampen harmonics enough to be able to see much difference, where as too much may make the barrel walk as it heats. I never expect a sporter weight barrel to shoot more than a 3 shot group. After all, it wasn't intended to be a "target" rifle. Most factory wood Remington 700 stocks have too much pressure. Remove a little at a time and look for changes in group consistency. You may find a "happy" spot. The pressure point should be right behind the tip 'wood'. The barrel should not touch the barrel channel from there to the action. Pillar & glass bedding can't hurt, as long as done properly. [/QUOTE]
