Default Ruger m77 7mm mag

I have a ruger m77 7 mm mag with this tang safety. I have been trying to get good groups with this gun for 2t yrs now and cant seem to do it. I recently got the trigger redone, and that has helped. I was wondering if anyone with this gun has ever bedded them and floated the barrel. The shots seem to walk to the right when i shoot it a few times. I tried to see what clearance i have and cant even begin to slide a dollar between the barrel and the stock. Its leading me to believe that as the barrel heats up, the stock is putting pressure on the barrel. When i shoot three shot groups, my first shots all hit the same place, as do my second and third shots. Im getting like 3-4 inch groups across three shots. Good enough for deer hunting, but nothing like my 22-25o that a quarter can cover 5 shots. Thoughts?
