Savage Pillar Bedding, and Glass Bedding Newbie

I have a Savage (2 screw?) 110 FP in 30-06 I like to take to club shoots to compete in their "stock" class benchrest at 200 yards.

In order to compete in this class I can't do much to the rifle to make it shoot better. Has to have factory barrel, factory stock, factory cartridge (no wildcats) and factory trigger. What I can do to it is add a muzzle brake, recrown it, fix the trigger, and bed the rifle.

I have a smith recrown and install a muzzle brake, those both improved accuracy. The trigger is "fine" for the gun so I am not looking to change that. I have to retain the stock so I figured I would possibly pillar bed it and/or glass bed the gun.

If I ruin the stock I can just get a new one so I am willing to dive into this one? Should I just pillar bed it? Just glass bed it? I am a total newbie on the process so I am looking for help.

I want to squeeze a little more accuracy out of this gun. She shoots submoa right now but I have no dreams of achieving what my custom built bat actioned 30BR does.
 
Does the action have to be in the issued stock or can it be any savage stock? Personally I would find that out as there are many factory laminates out there that would be a factory stock in reality.
 
Go to Savage shooters and buy a used wood stock for that rifle.
Then, research the web for pillar and glass bedding. There are a number of good articles. You can buy pillars from many sources including Brownell and Sharp Shooter Supply.
My first pillar and glass bedding was on an old 1958 Savage 110 and it turned out great!
