Does the barrel nut in a Savage factory rifle touch the stock or is it floated like the rest of the barrel?

Thanks
 
On my bone stock 110 with wood furniture it touched so I relieved it. It did not touch on my Boyd's before or after bedding.
 
If you do decide to bed it the splines on the nut must be filled with something so you don't have a mechanical bond and can't get the action out of the stock. Some use modeling clay for the fill.

Plumber's putty works great too.
