    If you wouldn't shoot past 200 it is already more than accurate enough, I shot many deer and goats and pigs with a 303 and 308 that would just get all shots on a sheet of a4 size target at 100.
    That said it is nice to have an accurate rifle, probably the biggest gain in accuracy you could make is having a load developed for the rifle or doing it yourself. if you want to go down the reloading route.

    Bedding the action and knox may improve it or it may not, it is entirely possible there is absolutely nothing wrong with the factory bedding,or it could be causing accuracy issues

    Basically if you do the bedding don't be disappointed if nothing changes and take it as a bonus if it does shoot better.
