The process Art is talking about is the way many rifles come from the factory. If you remove a Remington action from the stock you will note a ridge or bump in the stock near the fore end. This places a slight amount of upward pressure on the barrel.

It seems to help slender mountain rifle type barrels shoot better but the general consensus is that most standard and heavy barrels shoot better free floated. If your rifle is not shooting as well as you would like it is fairly easy to remove, or add this foreend pressure and see how it affects your individual rifle.
