[QUOTE="jpfrog, post: 2526402, member: 32525"] I believe the problem is likely that because material was removed, the stock is not as rigid in the forend, as it was not intended for the larger contour barrel the OP is likely using. This causes flex when pressure from a bipod is applied and the barrel then comes in contact with the altered stock. Removing more material won’t solve this, but will only introduce new problems and/or exacerbate this one. Probably need to find a new stock, with a design intended for your barrel contour. But I wouldn’t do anything until you take it to the range and get data with how it is set up now. [/QUOTE]
