Floating barrel
After reading that post about the tc omega synthetic stock having issues with the floating and rubbing ruining some accuracy i tryed the paper test on my winchester x-150 and could only get about 1 inch of paper between the barrel and stock before it stopped, i took the barrel off and checked it out and and found the bright silver rubbings and so i took my rifle apartand after an hour " or so it felt" i took off all the "paint" that was on the sides of the stock and redid the paper test. Worked like a charm! Its a camo stock and when they dip it, all that paint builds up along the sides and there for doesnt allow the floating barrel to do its job. All i had to do was take the paint down to the black of the stock and it solved the problem. I even took out my brothers .270 to see how his gunsmith did it and mines doing just the exact as his rifle. I left it a little tighter where my barrel slowly starts to taper but with some drag where the paper gets tight. Now i just have to buy some bullets and shoot the rifle and see if the groups have tightened up! So if you guys have a camo stock, try taking that paint off in there and mount your barrel back on.
