Default RE: free flost barrel

have a Weatherby Vanguard with the fiberguard stock. I am thinking about removing the pressure pad in the stock so that the barrel is completly free floated. I have done this on a Remington 700 and it did improve accuracy but Weatherby claims that the guy is designed to have the pressure pad and that removing it could hurt accuracy. The gun shoots pretty good but as soon at the barrel gets wam my shots really start to creep high. I am waiting about 10 min between rounds.
They come with a pretty stout barrel that would be ok for removing the pressure point. I would bed the action if I did that and that action is probably the easiest action in the world to bed. What kind of groups are you getting now and with what type of ammo?
