I worked on this gun some tonight, and took a few pictures
This is a picture of the action sitting in the stock with no action screws in, as you can see it is propped up on the trigger group which is spring loaded. Is this normal? Aside from the trigger group holding up the back end, the action has a good fit in the stock, no rocking or any movement.

The part with the arrow on it is what rests on the stock, causing the action to be propped up.
Here is the pic of the stock contacting the barrel
And the after pic after some dremel and sandpaper work
The barrel is now free floated, but I'm not sure it will be enough. I've got a question about action screw torquing. I've heard about everything as far as torque specs, 65 in-lb for both, 65 in the front just snug in the back, hand tight for both. There doesn't seem to be a consistent answer. What say you about this?
I ordered a target spring for the trigger, hopefully that helps to lighten it up some.
Thank you guys for the input and keep it coming, this is the first gun I've ever had the action out of the stock so I'm full of questions.
