I have a Winchester M70, which in the past was glass-bedded and free-floated, but I have noticed that the under part of the stock tip touches the barrel. I have ordered a barrel channel tool from Brownell's, so I was wondering if you can tell me how much wood I should remove...how much space should there be between the wood and the barrel. Also, do I need a torque-wrench to install the 3 bedding screws? Can I just tighten them by hand, and if so, how tight should they be? Thank you all very much!!! | ||

You don't want the barrel coming into contact with the stock as it heats up or during recoil. When I float a barrel, I remove just enough material so that I can't force the two to touch. Guard screws on the 70, I tighten the front and rear screws fairly tight by hand and the middle screw just snug. | |||
