That's sort of what I'm thinking after asking the question. The question that's always in the back of my mind is what can I do to make it more accurate. It helped in the case of my 308 model 700 but with this gun I just may leave well enough alone.

I'm pretty new to our modern chassis systems and while installing a barreled action into one the other day I had to be careful to make sure the receiver was rotated just right so the action screw hole in the receiver was centered, side-to-side, in the chassis. When you bed an action into a chassis how do you ensure the action is centered?

After installing the epoxy you screw the action into the chassis or use guide bolts with no head to guide the action into the stock for proper alignment. You can then clamp or rubber band the action.
