I picked up a layaway today. Its a 700 BDL synthetic stock with a with a 20" threaded barrel. The stock is black with green grayish inserts that are rubbery to the touch. I havent got to shoot it yet just cleaned it up good. Its got a bushnell bone collector 3-9x40 scope on it. The stock is touching the barrel. Whats a good economic way to freefloat one of these? Anyone had this model? I guess its a SPS threaded or tactical.

Shoot it first. SOME (not all) barrels like a little pressure on them.

I’d shoot it before I went to grinding on the stock. I’ve seen quite a few remmy’s that needed the little pressure at the end of the stock. I’ve seen a solid 3/4 moa gun go to spraying 2 1/2 patterns just from removing the pressure points at the end of the stock. To each their own but I’d start my baseline as it sits and experiment ammo before I went to grinding on hard parts.

What they ^^^^ said.

Also, I've seen many free float jobs on plastic stocks that look like hammered chit. Not easy to be consistent on plastics. Fiberglass is much easier to get right.

Try some 150s/168s in it first.

Yep shoot it first try several loads before chasing your tail trying to get it to shoot good.dont want to end up going backwards trying to add epoxy bedding back to stock to add barrel pressure hoping it will shoot better

Find you an original walnut stock and throw that synthetic crap in the garbage.

Get a wooden dowel rod that is slightly larger than the barrel. Wrap sandpaper around the dowel to sand the barrel channel. This will uniformly open up the barrel channel to free float the barrel.
