Twist of all Remingtons has been 1:14. (Sorry, I originally wrote 1:12, but knew better.)
A few things to check:
1. If the rifle has been glassbedded, make sure there's clearance under the recoil plate and that the front screw hole doesn't have bedding compound in it.
2. Not all "free-floated" barrels have sufficient clearance to not bounce off the barrel channel under vibration. Make sure it has at least 1/16" or more of clearance.
3. Make sure the mount base screws are tight.
4. Check the bedding to see if the stock isn't cracked at the front action screw. Check the torque of both screws to assure they're tight, but not beyond the stock's limitations.
5. There should be nothing touching the barrel when shot, but the forend should be rested firmly and consistently. I don't use lead sleds. People reported inconsistent accuracy from them. Everything should be done to assure consistent shot-to-shot back pressure at the butt and good forend cradling.
