Featherweights usually benefit from some "up" pressure, about 1-1/2" from the forend tip.

I doing some work on a bone stalk Model 70 Featherweight Classic which may include glass bedding and floating the barrel. I found out that the all Model 70's made since 1992 were free floated from the recoil lug on (phone call with Winchester-FN). Currently, my featherweight has a slightly warped stock that is putting pressure on the left side of the barrel. My first two shots are usually right on top of each other, but after that they start to string to the left. I'm thinking of floating the stock and putting a temporary pressure pad in at the tip. If this helps stabilize the groups, I'll likely glass in a pressure point at the tip.
