remington laminated varmit stock

[badshooter]

I have two of these laminated stocks and both have a hump above the front swivel stud that puts pressure on the barrel. Is this designed this way? Should I sand down the hump to make it truly freefloated? I remember reading that some guns are designed for the pressure point and removing it makes everything worse.

I didn't think Remington still did that, I think if you bed the stock then remove the hump, you'd be OK. It's the same barreled action that is in all the other HB Remingtons, should work fine free floated.

I have this as well. I would not remove it unless you pillar/bed the action. I like the older style with the black fore end; it's almost an exact copy of a HTG.

I have one of each. The black forend and the smooth non-checkered, fat forend model. Both have the hump above the stud.

I am planning on taking the stock off my SPS-T and replacing it with the varmit laminated. The hogue stock shoots great like it is with a freefloated barrel.
