I don't take it as a given that the action is bent either, but I'm going to have it checked out before I make any decisions if it were my rifle. Especially before I started ordering parts to rebuild it. I'd sure hate to walk into a GS with new stock and barrel in hand only to find out my action is bent or pinched.
I wouldn't send it back to the factory, it will cost as much if not more than a new rifle in most cases. I really doubt they would warranty the rifle since running it over isn't a manufacturing defect. I've tried a time or two to buy factory parts to.change something on my Savage and Remington rifles (mainly stocks) and they wanted ½ as much as I spent on the rifles.
