I just picked up my 17 wsm and working on ammo now. However I was under the impression that the barrel was a completely free floating barrel.

I noticed out of the box my stock seems to be "pushed over" to the left more than center and when I take a dollar and slide it down the barrel about 4-6 inches into the stock it stops.

Is this how it should be or do I have a issue with the stock?

Ty for any info or help.
