With Pre 64's I've found the easiest first attempt to get them to shoot is to remove the front knob screw and leave it out while shooting. This usually gets it down to at least a reasonable shooter IMO. Handloading will usually pick up a bit more in my experience. After that, decide if you want to mess with the stock.
Another idea is to get a Pre 64 stock off ebay or someplace that you don't mind doing all that to and put the original stock away for safe keeping. Then do all you want to the stock to get it to shoot like you expect it to without damaging the value of the collector grade stock.
In fact, I may have just the stock for you... and it's already bedded.....
