I've just finished tweaking my Rem 673 (based upon a model 7 action). The speed bump always bothered me, so I put it in an HS Precision Sporter stock and floated the barrel. Before that, I was shooting 1.00-1.75 inch groups at 100 (I'm no great marksman). I made my first range trip yesterday and was happy with the results. .75 to 1.50 inch groups without the flyers I used to see. In fact, my first three at 50 yds, after adjusting for the point of impact change from replacing the stock and floating the barrel (2 inches by the way) were one ragged hole. I think you'll be happy with your decision.
