I would just free-float the barrel first. Often the action bedding is fine, even on inexpensive factory rifles.

You might want to consider a copy of my book RIFLE TROUBLE-SHOOTING AND HANDLOADING. It's basically a condensed, simpler version of my three GUN GACK books, and perhaps because it is shorter (and less expensive) it's still selling steadily close to a decade after it appeared. In fact we just had to order another printing. You can order it from our website www.riflesandrecipes.com, and the $24.50 price includes shipping in the U.S.
