Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting 6.5-300 Weatherby – for Elk?

I got the new stock.





I installed it. It’s free floated now.



I’m hoping to shoot it this afternoon.

One question though: When I first installed the action in the stock, when I was done, it had just a little bit more room between the barrel and one side of the channel than it did on the other side. So, I loosened the action screws and pulled it a bit toward the side of the wider gap when I retightened them.

So, now, it’s centered, at least optically, in the middle of the channel:



Q1: Would it have mattered if I didn’t do that?

Q2: Did I use the correct approach (that I just made up) for remedying that?

Many thanks in advance for any comments.
