Float the barrel on Model 700 7mm Rem Mag?
I did the dollar bill check on my Model 700 last night, and it wouldn't go but about 1.5" past the end of the forearm.
It's a factory stock on a 1970's rifle. I took the stock off and can see where the barrel rests against the wood. Should I inlet/sand the stock so it floats, or leave it as is? I've never floated a barrel, but there seems to be a lot of Youtube videos on it using everything from gouges to sandpaper and a dowel. I guess I should shoot for groups to see first?
