Thanks buddy. I was wanting it to look as good as yours. You be the judge. Just got her cleaned up and bolted back together. I installed my 4.5-14x42 scope and now I wish I had a good ol 3-9x40 laying around blush. Now lets see, I think I was somewhere around step 12:

Pop the action loose from the stock. Please see my other bedding thread for this procedure. That thread is in the Winchester collector forum as well.

Step 13:
Clean metal parts. The Johnson's paste wax comes off very easy with some good ol rem oil.

Step 14:
Drill action screw holes out in stock. I drill from the bottom (invert the rifle and drill down when secured in the rifle rest) thru the aluminum pillar as a guide. I also use a 5/16" drill bit. When you are done, the hole should look nice and true like this:

Step 15 do a trial fit with trigger and bolt release/stop installed. If it hangs up on the bedding, take a dremel and fine tune the tight spots (that means remove material)...Here's an example, the pin that hold the trigger group in was hitting the bedding as the action slid down inside the stock. I removed material and then it slid down with no problem:
