    my 2c worth to the lots of good advice already given.

    Trigger job will help for sure - get that pull wieght down to 1.5 - 2lb.

    Cleaning - make sure you've got clean barrel with no copper fouling. Nathan's Terminal Ballsitics website is a teasure trove of info on everything, including cleaning. A polish with JB's might also help - but dont over do it !

    Bedding - first you might consider an after market stock, most standard synthetic factory stocks are not ideal for a stable platform for bedding. I've had good luck with B&C stocks (other might have a different experience) as well as some of the more expensive brands. In terms of bedding, try Mitch Maxberry in the Hutt. He very knowledgeable, helpful and reasonable prices. Wont cost you much more than buying the bedding components, and you get an expert job !

    Scope rings - forget the lapping imo, just invest in good quality rings. I find the Burris Signature Zee rings with the variable inserts give a great platform and allow you to adjust for any up/down (or sideways) between front and rear rings. This really helps get your scope into alignment with out the need to crank the be jesus out of the scope turrets which can get you into optical issues & inaccuracy.

    If you're chasing sub moa then probably need to find some one to reload for you.
    cheers & good luck.
