To do this. Stand your rifle up, buttpad on table so your looking through the trigger guard. Then tilt it towards 1 o’clock push with your left hand if right handed and vis versa if left handed. Take a screw driver and slowly unscrew the top action screw and watch your barrel at the same time. If the barrel rises up out of the stock. Then it’s not sitting in the action. This could be the course of why your shots have started to go amiss.
You can go for a bedding job that will solve this problem. Look at Nathan Fosters Ballistic Studies website on how to full length bed a rifle. He also has some good utube stuff on how too.
What @stagstalker said is very true wish I’d done that

I’ll give that a go for sure but now you mention it there was something that made me slightly concerned with the barrel alignment in the stock wasn’t sure if it was an issue. I’ll try to attach a photo of it see what you guys reckon.
