Start low, go slow. Don’t start anything you don’t have the tools or skills to finish.
Couldn't tell from your OP; if you fire two, let it cool completely, then fire two more, does the second pair stay tight with the first? If that was the case, I could live with it.
I have a very nice FN sporter by Paul Morton, the one-handed of San Antonio, TX, with pretty much all the goodies. I sorted out the funky scope bases, mounted a nice M8 4X, and dialed it in with some random handloads. Shoots pretty well, and while I plan to load up a small batch just for it, I’m not going down the rabbit hole trying to make it a bench gun. If it was one I’d had built myself, I’d look at it differently.
That’s a very nice rifle you have there, BTW.
