Hogue stock on Rem700 SPS causing issues?

[Andy T]

I just bought a used, in great shape Rem 700 SPS. I noticed that the barrel is not straight in the stock channel, it is a few milli meters away from the left side, while there is a bigger gap on the right side of the channel. When I get into position, I noticed the stock actually contacting the barrel on the left side. Can this issue impact the POI? and in what direction?
Is there a way I can address this issue - i.e. by removing the stock and reassembling - before looking for a replacement stock.
Thanks!

The Hogue stocks are junk, especially if it is the one with pillars, and not the full aluminum block. I have one on a PBR XP I just picked up, and the only good solution is replacement.

I have one on my sps-v it's better than the pos factory one but not by much. I actually read where they reccomend hammering the recoil lug untill it sits centered in the pocket and centers the barrel. mine sat off center and I'm not fucking it. I have couple hundred rounds through the rifle with it. it shoots ok but not great. Ordering a b&c can't wait for the upgrade. you should probably look in to the same.

This helps, mine was doing the same and this fixed it quit well. Still not as good as some of the aftermarket stocks but will get you a long way.
