As I ground away my 6 or 7th with yet a regret I was wondering on what rifles the pressure point helps (skinny barrels?) and when Rem builds a custom KS do they install the bump?
Thanks

I have two Model 7s from the custom shop and both had the forward pressure point.Rick.

Yep.
I'm of the FL neutral bedding camp and often the speedbump is a nice locator.

I was planning to FL bed my 708 after reading that most of you bed your light barrels that way. The smith had done pillar/glassed the action and shank when I picked it up. Shot it like that and won't change a thing till I have the loot for a stock.

So in this instance you would leave the bump, fill the lug and entire barrel channel with Steelbed, and turn screws in lightly? I remember seeing your bipod "impetus" pics. Never done an FL job but may need to do one soon.

Outside a heavy barrel I leave the pressure points on all my
Mountains and Ti's.

I left the pressure point in my KS .280 and it shoots great, however I ground the one off of my .338 to help it shoot better. These were on the McMillan stocks that used to come on them-I have no idea about the latest (Bell&Carlson?) stocks.

If the lump were neutral,I'd leave her go in the bedding scheme. If she was proud and adding copious pressure,I'd mitigate that. If it were shy of contact,I'd bed her as per usual ala Harris bipod at the muzzle,so as to coax a slight amount of PSI.
If the tang and lump are skookum,fill the void and rock on.

Makes sense to me.
