I have a new Ruger M77 Mark II .270 (hence my screen name) in the all-weather. It is not freefloated, I tried to slide a dollar bill between the barrel and the stock and it couldn't. I have tried to do some research and have heard several different things, one being that Ruger gives their rifles pressure points that the stock holds and that by free floating the stock you could hurt the accuracy.

So should my synthetic stock be floated?
