i have a remington 700, 300 win mag that the barrel walks as it heats up (the point of impact goes up). so reading and talking to several people, i decided to remove the "pressure point" in the stock to free float the barrel. i went and shot it yesterday, but it really made little difference. it may not walk as much, but it still does it. to the point of having to stop after 3 shots to let the barrel cool so i can hit on target (bullseye) again. it is a mid eighties vintage 700 bdl if that makes any difference. it has the standard barrel contour also. so what will stop this? i thought about full length glass bedding, but if the barrel is raising up free floated, why would it not raise up off from a glass bedded stock? am i doomed into replacing the barrel? do the open sights have anything to do with it?
