Default Action /barrel Bedding

I bought a Sako L579 single shot chambered in 6mmBR and have had it rebarreled to 20 BR.
The Action is bedded but the Barrel was not
.Should I leave it as is or bed the reinforce for the first 1-2 "
Any opinions welcome.

Why not run some test loads and see how it groups, as is, and then go further, if necessary ? Bill K

Shoot it first.
My two Sako's had the barrel bedded tight in both when new.

When the .222mag lost it, gunsmith told me to free float it and I did. That
got it to shooting again for about 300 rnds before it lost it for good and was rebarreled.
