Cheers, Will give it a go.
I don't have a torque screwdriver, will it be right to go by feel?

I was cleaning the old girl (Omark .308) the other day and noticed that my barrel is in contact with my stock, Right at the very end. Being naive when I first purchased the rifle I have neglected to look. but thought it wasn't previously touching. The only thing I can think that has changed since I have owned it was having a small amount of gunsmithing (tapping a thread and mounting a scope rail)
Could this be the result of over tightening the bolts holding the action into the stock?
Before I get the grinder out, I thought I would ask the question.
lol Im not a hack.

Have you had the sling rail off too?

Not unusual to have pressure right at the end of the forend if it's not a floated barrel.
Does it shoot okay?

Otherwise, you could bed it on Devcon, J-B Weld, fibreglass etc. Are you handy with carpenter's tools like gouges?
Important Question
Do you know how to test bedding? Reason for asking is that you could DIY. For instance, it is possible although unlikely, that the bedding might be OK, as it is. If you can test, you could save some trouble, however unlikely as pointed out.
Love a project

If you lived near by i'd happily do the bedding for you because i have all the gear but it's a long swim to Tassy. Pillars wouldn't go astray, either.
Not all bedding jobs are equal, by the way.

Gwion has prompted me to check on your State of Residence and I see it's the same as mine. Any chance you're on the Sunshine Coast? If so, send me a pm and we'll chat.

Put your action back in the stock with the screws lose 1 turn and slide a paper under the barrel it should slide to about 1.5 to 2 inches before the square slot in stock easy as you may have to re position till you get it correct remove the paper and tighten the bolt at the rear first then the front as you tighten the front check with the paper, wipe out your stock channel with some polish or even steel wool very lightly just to clean up a bit .
what number is the flyer 1st or last makes a difference if its in the group its you
