Yes a bedding job would help the gun out.
I bed about 1 to 2 inches of the barrel past the barrel nut, and this would fill the entire recoil lug pocket. I wrap the recoil lug in electric tape leaving the side toward the action unwrapped. I use shoe polish as a release agent. You can free float the tag or not it doesn't make a difference. I place a spot of clay under the barrel to keep it floated. Get a pair of long 1/4 x 28 bolts cut the heads off and use then to guide the receiver into the pillars.
Don't worry about torque specks just hand tight is all the that is needed. If a stock needs torqued it has a bedding problem.
