I noticed that my barrel is rubbing my stock towards the inside end of the stock, above where my bipod is mounted. Can I just go in with sandpaper around a pipe or dowel to take out some material on the stock myself, or is there a better way? It's a Remington PSS with the HS stock btw.

Shouldn't be a problem doing it yourself.

A deep well socket of the appropriate size works well for this.

I had the same issue with an SSG... and a 5R. Sandpaper and the deepwell socket did it for me too!

Yup. Is that a common issue with the pss?

Re: Barrel rubbing stock
Is this because most guys are right handed and lay the rifle on its left side when reassembling it? I have noticed that when reassembling them there is a tendency for them to align on the left side.

I've got two, both needed relief on the left front of the stock. I had another I had to send back because the barrel was bent AND twiste (!). That being said, the two I've got shoot fairly well if I'm on my game.

I'm convinced the problem lies in the HSP stock. I believe it's due to the barrel channel not being in line with the bedding block. Whatever causes it, it's a testament to poor QC on the part of Remington to let these rifles out of the door with such an obvious problem. At any rate, a little time with some sandpaper and the problem is solved.
