Yep nothing is touching barrel when using bipod or rest and is fully floating.
Have just inspected the recoil lug closely. The lug is 6mm thick and the lug grove on chamber is 6.14mm.
The .14mm Clarence is on the front of the lug which is where I would think needs to be hard up given the way it recoils.... stock try’s to stay put against shoulder and chamber/barrel moves back where the recoil lug would take the hit otherwise it’s relying on the action screws?
Here’s a pic of chamber lug grove, can even see bedding compound on front of grove where the clearance is, which I feel should be hard against the recoil lug...?

That gunk on the front face of recoil lug groove looks like a problem to me. And suggests the bedding job might be source of your issues.
Can you get your hands on (borrow) another stock to try your action in? Preferably a B&C or carbon fibre stock. Your POI will change but groups should improve and settle down in consistency
