[QUOTE="General RE LEE, post: 2712142, member: 115273"] So I did some reading in this and what I discovered makes sense. A free floated barrel, especially a heavier barrel like the varmint contour in my Bergara HMR, is going to “see saw” slightly on the recoil lug. With the action screws removed, gravity is going to pull the muzzle down till it makes contact with the stock which, in turn, raise the tang slightly off the stock. This is what I have observed with my action screws removed. I don’t think I have a problem cause my barrel is free floated and heavy. [/QUOTE]
