Good advice. Also check the recoil lug recess. Although bedding an action will help any rifle in the accuracy department, you may not want to go this route so just make sure the recess is wide enough. If the action screw holes in the stock are not perfectly straight, the lug may be pressing too far to one side and the recess might need to be relieved to reduce stress on the action. Sometimes it doesn't take much for this to cause an accuracy problem and in turn, doesn't take much time to fix.
