    You haven't mentioned it and no one has asked but are you reloading for it?
    If not, see if you can starting doing that and if you are maybe a different projectile or seating depth could improve your groups.

    If you can find another stock for the rifle for cheap, you could use that for experimenting with, so try removing the pressure points the glass bedding it.
    And if it all gets worse you still have your original stock.

    Thanks for all the options to think about. I do reload and my long range load is using the 162 gr A-Max. My 300 RUM has had the pressure blocks removed and the barrel is floated back to the recoil lug but it is glass bedded around the recoil lug and the tang. I also had pillars put in on the action screws so the plastic stock doesn't crush. By doing this and changing to the 208gr A-Max from the 180gr Accubond accuracy did improve, best group at 100 yds is 13mm ( if I am measuring it right ) but even if I measured wrong it looks pretty good to me.( Picture of 3 shot group with 300 Rum at 100yds)Name:  13mm group 208gr Hornady A-Max.jpg

    I suppose to be more certain of an improvement I will need to do the same at least to the 7mmMag as I did to the 300. I might try playing with the loads and seating depth to see if that's any better.
    If not it is shooting good enough as is.
