Ok gentlemen, I'm going to attempt to undergo some upgrades on my Winchester MOD 70 Ranger 7mm Rem Mag. Doing some research, I want to sand down the interior of the stock so that I can get the barrel to free float. I'm also thinking that glass bedding & pillar bedding will also greatly increase accuracy.

I have NEVER attempted any of the above procedures. Are the procedures cabable of being done by someone with 0 expirence as long as I take my time & am being careful?

Also, is doing all three an overkill? It seems that by doing one that it will improve accuracy, however, by doing all 3 it will get the most out of the rifle. What is you alls thoughts & advice for a novice/rookie!?
