Do I still need to float the barrel with a synthetic stock?

Thanks,

Rugers work best wth a little up pressure on the barrel at the end of the stock. The factory stocks have a little nub there. My wood stock from Ruger had an irregular and uncentered nub. After sanding and replaceing the nub with accu-glass the rifle shoots straight and has no fliers or stringing. I like the look of the stock rifle barrel band and all. A bull barrel and custom stock would not improve goups as much as this did.
