Picked up a Remington 700 VLS with a 26" heavy varmint barrel in .223 last week. First tweak will be a new trigger and to glass in the action. The stock is tight from not the best finishing inside the barrel channel. Also thinking about free floating, but found a 3/4 inch node against the barrel 2 1/2 to 3 1/4 back from the front of the stock. Before I sand this out, Has anyone had experience on whether fully free floating might provide a more consistent shooter, Or will this node help dampen the barrel harmonics. My first thought is to remove it. I have not shot it yet. The trigger is a Obama Lawyers delight.

Folks ain't got a sense of humor no more. They don't laugh they just get sore.
Need to follow the rules. Just hard to determine which set of rules to follow Now the rules have changed again. |

Remove it, nothing touches the barrel!

I only use free floated barrels on precision rifles. I'm not saying they cannot work otherwise, but why have anything touch the barrel.
BTW, Timney triggers are a big improvement. |
