Thanks for the pics. Yes my barrel has the same pressure point as your Remington.

The thumbhole stock in that boyds link says it is free floating.

Not being a gunsmith, I was wondering if I got that stock in the link, that maybe it would work.

Being that they state the barrels are free floating in that paticular stock, and my barrel dia. is smaller than the other Rem. 700s, it wouldn't matter because the barrel is free floating anyway. Am I wrong about this?
