[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 1856753, member: 101791"] Full floating the barrel: I generally build my own stock being left handed. It's been my understanding hunting in foul weather and wood stocks can cause problems by the stock can swell up some causing the barrel to change unless the stock is sealed entirely. Full floating helps to keep that from happening. I know that some rifle do like some forearm pressure. All the rifles I have worked on I have found full floating helps and closed in the groups. Bedding the action is the part of it also. I have seen rifles come out of the box and some hand loads shot under 3/4" groups at a 100 yards. SSS Mike [/QUOTE]
