Get a wooden dowel wrapped in sandpaper and alleviate the barrel channel yourself. Make sure you torque the action back down to specs in inch lbs. |

I'm seriously considering this I've had to file done many mcmillian stocks after installing a new trigger for example |

1.25" Sandpaper roll on a drill and hog that bad boy out. Takes about 1 minute that way. Keep pressure on the side to be cut since the other side clears already.

Took it to smith and he laughed at it. He said to send it back to Remington for a new stock
I agreed |

Check the recoil lug, the last two I bought did this and it was because the recoil lug was crooked.

Hmm I disassembled it and checked to see if the barrel was canted and it was not, that is the extent of my abilities From what my smith said the stock from hS is the issue, it had 2.5 to 3 thousands more that needed to be removed (the part touching the stock) for it to torque down without touching the more I think about it the more I regret sending it back. I see bullets.com has manners stocks for 570 price range.... exactly what I want... what else would it cost to have a quality gunsmith to bed this rifle? |

Don't discount the possibility that the barrel/receiver may not be threaded dead square.

so I drove 3 hours west of where I live to another BIG gunstore in Kentucky.... they have the same rifle on the shelf with the same issue as mine
I believe this is the last stock Remington I am ever buying. I had a suggestion from a buddy to have the stock skim bedded. would that fix this issue? I am no expert but I don't see how it would! |

well I emailed HS precision over the weekend and I have not heard back from them. wanted to see if I could return this stock for some type of refund, they fix and then resell. hopefully they will call. I have two HS precision stocks I could over them..
here is the updated rifle, now I am waiting on new seekins high rings as these are too low because of the cheek piece

Had one like that. The receiver was tapped crooked. Sent it to remington twice and gave up on them. Cost me just shy of $1500 to have it fixed.

I am at 1250 + 130 for new rings!

HS precision never returned my email. i called just now and they don't want anything to do with the stock/ issue. they will never receive my business again
called Remington, at least he gave me options. if i want it fixed i have to undo the new stock and trigger leave the suppressor mount installed.. and send it back to be fixed looks like i will be stuck with a defective stock |

Sorry dude. This happens sometimes. At least you have a nice new rig for your rifle now.

You can always open up the barrel channel with a dowel and sand paper. I have done it on HS stocks. You can also skim bed the bedding block. My 700P 300WM was moving in the bedding block and I would get two separate groups. After a skim bed it was one group.

OP, just stick it on ebay for a reduced price with a clear statement that it is slightly off and the accompanying photos.
That way you can recoup ad least some of your money. There are many people out there that would happily buy a good stock that needs what many would consider minor work. I build my own rifles, inlet my own stocks, pillar and glass be my own rifles, and could never afford to drop $1200 on a new stock. Fixing your cast off would be an hour in the shop for me. |

I removed the cheek piece spacer. You just need to get a pair of M5x12mm hex socket cap screws to install the bracket back onto the cheek piece without the 10mm spacer. |

Nice aics chasis stock. I'm sure you be happy with it. I have three, one on a 338 lapua, a 308 and a 6.5 creedmoor. Very happy with them. They are heavy though.

I have a 700 5R, probably 6-8 years old, in an HS stock. The barrel is free-floating, but clearly not concentric in the barrel channel. At the time I bought it, I found photos online of similar rifles with similar problems. I would never buy an HS product again. Remington should be ashamed shipping these products.

3 thousandths isn't a sensible tolerance, especially for a composite part on a nontooled surface.
Add the clearance you need by sanding the channel, you will need more time to find dowel and sandpaper than the work requires. If the bond tool is bad, HS will probably never fix the problem. It could be caused by an unbalanced laminate or a CTE mismatch between the tool and stock, even with a low temp cure, and the stock could be warping after it comes out of the tool. Sand, reassemble, move on, and remember. |

Old thread. It was total. Fixed was probably $600, but it was blueprinted, new bbl, muzzle brake, bedded, some sort of bolt face work etc. So yeah, i guess i could have be a little straighter on that answer.

I put my son's 700 in a Houge stock (pillar bedded vs, not the chassis type of block) and it did the same thing. I found that a simple Emory cloth shim on the tight side centered the barrel. This is just a bandaids, I will bed it around the lug after deer season.
It is shooting MOA now but the Emory cloth is a junky way to fix it. |

Remington won't fix the gun, that is factory work that passes their standard quality, this is caused by the way they manufacture Model 700's.
If you get a chance to see an action when the barrel is removed, you'll see swirls on the action face cause by "truing" against a big disc sander. Great, eh? I didn't notice that this is an old thread. I had similar results from HS Precision before they hit the "do not buy, ever" list. Simply would not return calls or emails. Doesn't matter now, I won't buy their products or a new firearm sold with one of their stocks. |
