I did that trick and it seems to work. I also glass bedded the forearm to the hanger at the screw attachment lug, free floated the rest of the forearm. That way, the barrel is in no bind, expect for the set screw tension.

This is on an older .220 Swift with med heavy factory bbl. Gun shoots around 1/2" groups.

My 1B in 7mm STW was one of the ones which did not shoot particularly well from the factory. About two inches with most loads.

I free floated the for-end and bedded the hanger with Marine Tex. That got it down to about 1.5 inches. It finally made to .75 inches after I installed the Hick's accurizer.
