My 350 has the post boat paddle stock, and the barrel is not free floated. Also the group was shot with the heavy factory trigger and a 2.5x scope.
My contention is most factory rifles shoot quite well as is by simply working up a hand load. And as noted, sometimes load work can be very quick and simple.
One of the great things about Ruger M77, MKII and Hawkeye triggers is they are very easy to work on. I have a safe full of same and the only one I haven't touched is the two-stage in my .22-250 MKII VT. The others all benefited to one degree or another.
