Bought a Savage MKII FV-SR a couple weeks ago and have been using it casually at the house for rabbits/squirrels/chipmunks etc. I've heard that the factory stock isn't as accurate as the Boyd's stock.

I've also heard that bedding your stock improves accuracy, but I am not mechanically inclined enough to trust myself doing that without worrying about messing something up.

Should I invest the $170 (almost as much as I paid for the rifle!) to get the new stock? Would the rifle be accurate without bedding either of those stocks?
