[QUOTE="freddiej, post: 1674502, member: 26227"] Is this a wood stock or a synthetic stock? Synthetics should never touch the barrel, the wood ones always touch the barrel at the sling swivel. the problem with Remington they put barrels on that 60% of the time will not meat the 1" or less with factory ammo. so the put a pressure bed point where the front sling swivel is. sand that down and the gun will be free floated. now if it is a plastic stock. sand down where it pinches and go shoot. If it is synthetic/Fiberglas and it pinches on just one side then something is very wrong. The barrel could be bent or something dreadful like that. if it pinches equally on both sides of the barrel then it is the wrong contour for that stock and you have to sand the stock. [/QUOTE]
