A good person to talk to is NULA owner Melvin. Cat knows his stuff. When people say they need a 1" contour barrel, he smiles and says "really". I have seen NULA rifles with pencil barrels that are easily sub0.5" guns. YOu can have pressure point as long as its consistent and with the stiffest stock you can get. I got some real learning on my visit to his place. If you tell him, all guns need freefloated, he will tell you, you are compensating for a problem. If you tell him you need to torque the action screws to exactly 40in/lbs, he will tell you, you are compensating for anther problem.

I have varmit rifles with bull barrels that are true sub0.5" guns and they have pressure points. Why would I take it out? I also have freefloated custom that are sub0.5" guns.
