Hi, I just got this Tan with black spider web a few days ago and haven't even shot it yet. Has anyone free floated one of these with accuracy gains? I don't like the way the barrel fits touching down both sides with no, clearence at all. The first three shots might be fine don't know yet but, I would think once the barrel begins to heat, this could produce crap for accuracy based on the research I've done on rifles and bedding in general. I was advised on another forum to free float the barrel so it's no longer touching the sides or bottom and to also, bed the rear portion of the recoil lug. Any thoughts, opinions, or other Ideas of what I could do to ensure the greatest accuracy results? I plan to replace the trigger with a Rifle Basix for now, I have just adjusted it the best I could get it to be safe! Thanks for any advice!

Never mind, complete waist of time! as I have found that Weatherby's Vanguard models gurantee of 1 1/2" groups is a joke unless, you want to remove the stock, put the barreled action in a vice and feed it the most expensive ammo you can find! which is the way they test them by the way. then, mislead the consumer into thinking his rifle is capable of these size groups or better while in their stock. and who knows, the barrel may be a peice of crap so, I can't afford to build this rifle to get it to shoot or, maybe even waste more money trying. sorry about all the ranting but, I just think it's a sad thing for a company to treat their customers like this. Killed my deer hunting trip I've been waiting so long for just a few weeks away.
