Thread: New stock

I have just fitted my old BDL 30 06 into a new Bell and Carlson Alaskan 11 stock.
Didn't take much fitting just a little sanding.
They have upward for end tip pressure points.

Anyone done this recently with these stocks?
Would the consensus be to wrap a bit of grit paper round a dowel and float it now or wait until I see what it shoots like as I guess they have these there for a reason.
Should say the barrel is a sporter weight, not the light profile mountain rifle barrel which may well need those pressure points
