I just bought a Weatherby Vanguard series 2 rifle in .30-06. This of course has the synthetic stock, but the barrel is not free-floating. I am going to make the assumption that I will need to sand down the stock to free-float the barrel like I did with my wood stock rifle. Is free-floating the barrel still necessary? Has anyone modified the synthetic stock to free-float the barrel and how difficult is it?
Thank you for the assistance.
