The main point I am getting from your post, is that you want the feel and look of a fancier target stock. Then at some point in the future, you will get the .920 target barrel and there are many choices for that. Yes, you can drop your standard and yes, it will work and "really" float. Depending on your usage, it could present a problem. I put a front support or spacer in mine and still minimized any barrel stesses. I just did not like the look and idea of the barrel being so free and volnerable and possible damaging the reciever. Eventually I bought a used beat-up birch stock and painted it with Rhino-Hide.

Be Safe !!!
