I have this Savage .22 LR with heavy bull barrel and synthetic stock. I recently noticed the stock touching the barrel towards the fore end. I'm not sure if it has always been that way or if it warped over time. I bought it brand new in 2010 so its only 4 years old. I know a free floated bbl yields the best accuracy but not sure it it matters with a .22 and a heavy bull barrel at that. The rifle is pretty accurate but I wouldn't exactly call it stellar accurate. I removed the stock and tried to bend it a bit but it is pretty dang stiff. I think I would have to file the crap out of it to get it to not touch the barrel. What would you do?
