Purchase a better stock. The Bell and Carlson Medalist Tactical is around $200.00 and it is far better than what you have now and will allow you really begin to get repeatable results as you make improvements to your rifle. There are other stocks, but for the price, this one offers the best value in my eyes of what is currently available. You could of course go the laminated wood route if that suits your style more and gain appreciably better results in the long run vs the Stevens stock.
