Abstract: A device for adjusting the force between the rifle barrel and the forearm of the stock comprising a stabilizing block having a concave groove formed on the upper surface thereof to engage the rifle barrel. An adjuster screw having an enlarged head is rotatably positioned in a socket formed in the lower side of the stabilizing block and retaining pins retain the head of the screw within the socket. A screw housing is rigidly secured within the stock close to the end of the forearm. The adjuster screw is threadedly secured to the screw housing such that the stabilizing block may be moved relative to the screw housing and forearm to adjust the force on the rifle barrel.
