    Get a kit from Nathan Foster. PM me a phone number and I will help guide you through doing it.

    I would shoot it in the stock first, theres a good chance it will shoot great. Then if you find it needs bedding, grab one of Nathan Fosters kits, make the most of the wisdom on here and have a go yourself, its not difficult.

    Not familiar with that kind of stock but you could try pillars as well, that's relatively easy. How does it shoot at the moment? Is the barrel free floating in the channel. Been a while since I've done bedding type stuff. the last one was a boyds laminated and I just put pillars in it and bedded around the recoil lug from memory.

    Does the stock have an aluminium bedding block ? If it does, only a skim bed is needed

    If you dont manage, you can sent it my way. Via the Dealer network.

    Did not know that LH stock with RH inlet was a thing. Ive got several rifles running like this.

    Thanks everyone for the input. I do know that I want this rifle bedded, I am in the process of renovating two houses so believe me, I don't have the time to do this job myself. Just thought there could have been a recommendation by someone that has had a bedding job done that they were happy with.

    Cheers

    The post above, Jaco Goosen would be an excellent option, does top work. As you are in Nelson, see if you cant find Murf's Precision, another that does excellent work and aint happy until a rifle is shooting tight and straight.
