When I got my 10/22 thirty-odd years ago, I sanded out the barrel channel so the barrel didn't have any pressure points. Then I stripped out the trigger and bolt. Every surface where parts rubbed together, I polished with a stone to remove the bluing. Not sure if it helps, but the intention was to make the fit a little looser all over.

Funny, just finished bedding my 10/22 a few hours ago. Used a Dremel to create pockets at the rear receiver ledge and the front pad behind the takedown screw then used JB Weld putty as the bedding compound. Seems to have worked fine. Also free floated the barrel.

Can't wait to see what happens to the groups. Was getting about 3" at 100 yds with CCI Minimags.

I put a brass pillar at the front of the receiver and used JB Weld at the rear. Both of these ideas came from rimfirecentral.

I carved out the barrel channel of a "deluxe" stock, wrapped the Butler Creek barrel with a couple of bands of tape forward of the barrel takedown block/screws, about 2 inches apart (so that the barrel would sit about 1.5 mm above the channel, used Devcon Epoxy Steel to fill the gap between the bands of tape, the barrel, and the stock - the rest of the barrel is free-floated. action screw and back of action I've left alone. Contemplating doing a bit more bedding at the rear to reduce movement.
