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.

Thank you! Will purchase one and try to float the barrel and see what happens!

......the occasional hunter wielding a hopelessly inaccurate rifle, living by the fantastical rule that this cartridge can deliver the goods, regardless of shot placement or rifle accuracy. The correct term for this is minute of ego.
