Just prepped mine to shoot tomorrow...

Burris steel bases
Leupold 30mm QRW rings
Leupold VX-III 4.5-14 Longerange with VH reticle
Diamond lapped the barrel
...now a question for you Tikka shooters.

I have an identical .223 that I got from Mackay Sagebrush...it is very accurate to say the least... I just noticed that the new .22-250 is not freefloated. Upon taking off the stock there is a reinforcing support that is touching the barrel about 4" in front of the front action screw... Just checked the .223 and it is just the same as apparently Mackay didn't freefloat the barrel when he had it...

Do you Tikka shooters freefloat the support or leave it as is?

Loads made up:
Federal case
CCI LR BR primer
W-748 powder
75 grain Hornady HP-BT
65 grain Sierra SP-BT

Thanks...Bob
