i take it you have a wooden stock remmy and have tried some paper up it to see if its floated.If so take it out the action get a piece of dowel and sand paper and sand the channel take abit off at a time and keep checking. once you have floated it enough. seal the barek timber you have took off. let that dry then put your action back in

its a black plastic stock

In that case:- Throw it away and buy a H.S.precision/MacMillan or other stiff stock !

 

The moulded stocks that come on remingtons are crap, as soon as you free float it and then put pressure or tension on the forend the grouping will suffer.

as above and when you are out in the sun with it...it will go like a jelly i had a 700 sps varmint and it was a bag of crap which is why i no longer have it.

Cramp, if you have the SPS version then do as the fella's have suggested and replace the stock mate, the remington stocks are crap.

 

 

I seem to recall a while back you were considering buying a Remington 770 (that is if you are the same Cramp that used to go on PFS), is this the model you have?

Apologies, I have just noticed the "remmy 700" under the thread title.

I have to agree with most replies so far, trying to float most 700 "Plastic" stocks is simply a waste of time.

 

Mine is fine as supplied on my .308 700SPS Stainless and gets me 1" even with PRVI, but if I wanted better I would most certainly have to throw it away and consider another stock.
