Many ways to skin the cat. As long as you end up with a great shooting rifle, that's all that's important...Hornet, have you ever experimented with free floating a std wt? The one like you picture with the sight boss...
No I haven't actually. Not in the pre 64's at least. I have free floated all my classics. All my pre 64's seem to like a tight forearm. I am in the process of fitting a brand new stock to my 338 Alaskan, maybe I will play with the idea of floating it. It seemed to like very light tension compared to really clamping it down in the original stock.
