This 700 BDL walnut stock seems to have these bumps in the channel toward the front of the stock closest to muzzle. Based on the "rub marks" it appears to be touching the barrel in that location. These do, however, look quite uniformed touching an equal amount of barrel on each side (looks to me anyways).
I don't know enough about barrel harmonics, but read enough to understand the free floating idea ..... but these older 700's have spaghetti thin barrels and maybe they need some support up there??? I'm just going to have to shoot it and see what it does.
Seems to be barrels have gotten a little heavier/stiffer over the years (generally).
