I know I have seen this information before somewhere on the web, but now I can't find it.

The gun is a Rem 700 with synthetic stock.
How tight should each screw be and what is the sequence I should use in tightening them?

Also, is the factory rem synthetic stock strong enough that I could float the barrel? It touches now and I was wondering if I can take the high spot out of the stock or if that would mess things up.

Thanks in advance,
C-Hawk
