    The best way to clean a rifle,free floated or not is to take it out of the stock and clean and oil it ( yes even stainless ones)
    If it is free floated and the bedding is good it should be good to go but I would check zero on any rifle that has been dissasembled.
    If said rifle is well known to be a shooter that check could be only one or two shots.

    Pressure bedded rifles on the other hand are a whole different kettle of fish........
