CTR floated barrel
New here, I just recently picked up a Tikka CTR, the stock is touching the barrel for about the first 3 inches in front of the receiver. Is this common for this rifle?
thanks for any info

I have Tikka T3x Superlite with plastic stock not exactly the same but I had to take the stock off and grind two points for plastic rib reinforcements that touched and left plastic on barrel and also I gently opened the sides as they touched. The stock was in my left hand braced against solid table and grinder in other hand
I used a 4 inch dewalt electric hand grinder to do it all just needed very light touch, then gentle hand sand after; now its perfect and doesnt look bad nor visible if you easy and careful with very light pressure. I used a new 20 bill to verify all clearance after
I did this on two other ruger Americans I had before the Tikka also that were touching the barrels
