RE: Removing bedded barrel
I sure hope that whoever bedded the gun used a good release agent. Otherwise it aint coming out.
Remove the action screws and tap the receiver and barrel with a rawhide mallet or other nono marring type of semi soft mallet. This will usually allow you to easily remove the baeerlled action from the stock. If it still seems stuck you can turn it up side down and tap the barrel just in front of the forend.
