I'm wondering whats the best way to free float the barrel on a wood stock bolt action rifle. My project is an older Remington 700. Is there a gunsmith tool to efficiently sand out the barrel groove in the wood stock?
Also, is there any reason not to float the barrel? This is a hunting rifle but Ive recently enjoyed some target shooting with it and want to see if I can tighten up my group. It works fine for hunting, but I don't want to do something to make it worse for that or open up a bigger project than I'm prepared for.
