You really don't completely free float a NEF barrel but you minimize contact with the barrel forend with a rubber washer.  Do a search on rubber washers and see what comes up.

One method is to use a 9/16"ODx3/8"IDx3/32"thick neoprene "O" ring from your local Ace/True Value hardware store, to put on the forearm stud. This isolates the barrel from the forearm somewhat. It may or may not help as reported by many users. I suspect that using the same torque on the forearm screw may also be a factor. I am planning on using a Utica TS-30 torque screwdriver on the screw to experiment with different torque settings vs accuracy. It works well on my rimfires, so I'll give it a try. I bigger factor is probably the position of your rest under the forearm, most here suggest the rest should be positioned at the very back of the forearm. Let us know how you do, I haven't even been able to shoot mine yet cuz I sent it in for a trigger job and another barrel. H&R informed me today that they don't have any 25-06 barrels so I'm SOL for now, I guess!

quickdtoo,

I tried a SnapOn torque wrench that only went up to 200 in. lbs.  The problem I had was the screw head pulling through the wood/synthetic.  I have swithched to flat blade screws and snug the screw down with the screw slot in the same position each time.

I'm thinking that is way too much torque but not having a rifle, I can't really say. But, I do know that my cz like 25-30in/lbs torque, any more and it really affects the group size, but that is in a normal one piece stock with 2 action/barrel screws. The line-up-the-screws method has always been my standby, also, I even put a mark on some of my rifles to align a mark on the screw with so it consistent. But the torque method should work for differing weather conditions, also.  Thanks... tim
