Weatherby Vanguard - barrel not free floated?

[timbernomad]

Who here has experience with the Weatherby Vanguard in its factory stock? It's my understanding that Vanguard stocks aren't free floated and have a pressure point in the front. What are the practical effects of this on accuracy?

Can help or hurt, but free floating is best. I don’t know if it is “meant” to free float but I wouldn’t want it.

Bed it to float or open up the barrel channel.
