If you want to try free-floating the barrel, use some shims to raise the front of the action until the barrel is not touching the stock. Don't modify the stock until you know it will provide the desired results.

Do you think an aluminum bedding block could have made any difference in the performance of you rifle?
Pillar bedding would have been just as effective, I think. But, what I took away from messing with it, was that the barrel needed the pressure points. I considered building some pressure points in the fore-end of the Boyds stock. ...but dropping the action in a stock that I knew worked was easier. (and about 3 lbs lighter)
