Beware of scammers.

Thanks again for the detailed response - I will pursue a composite or fiberglass replacement stock (BTW -what is a chassis type stock?) ... And what replacement stock manufacturer/company do you recommend ?

.... To all of you incredible Experts, could you please recommend a few replacement stocks for this SPS 700 that will improve its "accuracy" ?... I would LOVE to keep it in the Family as a pass-down gun, however, if you recommend that we start all over, I will be accordingly receptive to all of your ...

Thank You. As you suggest, the barrel/receiver removal should provide the answer.

I have a model 700 purchased in 2011. Was/is it free-floated from the factory? It is an SPS in .308. Note - I can completely slide a dollar bill between the stock and the barrel, however, there appears to be "resistance" points along the way.
