It's a shame that it shoots like absolute garbage now, time to get out the Devcon

Devcon (or any other bedding compound) is not the answer. The barrel needs to be refitted semi-permanently to the receiver, check the crown, and a good trigger job. That will give the rifle the ability to shoot 1/2" groups at 50 metres. I have done literally hundreds of them over the years. It would also pay to check the barrel channel for tight spots. Instead of bedding, a wee packer washer cut from the lid of an ice cream container can be put between the stock and the receiver pad round the stock screw.

a plastic washer? you could get one from a blouser owner

It has a custom barrel made from a BSA target barrel which is epoxied into the receiver, trigger job has been done, barrel is floating in the new stock, the action is flopping around loose as fuck
