I picked up a used T3 in 300wsm. It is the hunter version with the wood stock. I disassembled it to give it a good full cleaning and noticed it was bedded. But when I reassembled everything I noticed that the entire action was slightly turned to the left. You can see that the previous owner opened up the barrel channel so it was still free floated. Will this cause any issues with accuracy? Technically it is bedded and free floated. Just slightly off center.
 
It’s it actually bedded crooked or is the forend slightly warped giving the illusion the bedding is crooked?
 
If the bedding has even contact to the action and the pillars are too then it doesnt really matter if one side of the foreend is sanded away to clear.
