Ruger is not an easy action to bed . I would bed the shank part of the barrel and the tang and not remove any material from the stock. Just a light skm coat . Use stockmakers screws and tighten them litely and use some surgical tubing around the action. Put some tape on the front of the lug.Last few bedding jobs I have done involved using score hi epoxy. This is really super stuff and it is not a critical mix.You can get it from Midway or directly from them. If you want more hassle use the various Brownell acraglas products.
