I free floated my barrel a couple of weeks ago, and then decided to bed the action. In the process of bedding the action the barrel became 'cock-eyed' in the stock somehow.

The action sits in the stock like it should, but when I torque down the screws to put everything back together it kicks my barrel slightly to the right now. Something happened in the bedding process, and it now sits slightly to the right just enough to bind the barrel, and prevent it from being free of the stock.

What needs to happen in order to get the action to sit 'true' in the stock and re-float the barrel?
