do not float it all the way to the reciever. The reciever is aluminum and won't support the weight of the barrel.

I bedded mine about two inches past the reciever and the rest floats. Give that a try, you'll be pleasantly surprised I think.

Gander is probably right on the reciever material, I haven't touched my 597 in months and was working from memory. Gander, how is that carbon fiber barrel for the 597?

I don't have a synthetic stock, I've got the laminate so bedding was easy.

a thumbhole for the 597? (this is gonna cost me money )
