[QUOTE="Dr. Vette, post: 633710, member: 22335"] The stock triggers seem to be either good or bad. I spent a lot of time tweaking one and still bought a Timney so don't feel bad. I have the same stock on my 270, and it works great. There are aluminum "pillars" at each of the action screw locations, and it's got whatever Bell & Carlson uses to make a stock - check their web site for details. The forend pressure point is on all of them. You can - a) leave it and shoot it, as it may show itself to be just fine; b) bed it so that the barrel still contacts the forend pressure points. This is not too tough, but getting the "correct" amount of pressure can be a trick. You could either bed just the recoil lug or the whole action; c) sand out the pressure points to float the barrel and then bed the action. Mine is this way because the previous owner had it bedded (not a great job) and the pressure points were gone when I purchased it. I then re-bedded the action and it shoots wonderfully. YMMV. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
