Aus,
In the US, sanctioned military rifle mostly require that the rifles be as-issued, no stock modification. Perhaps it is different in OZ? My swedes, I would glass around the receiver ring and the first inch of barrel by the receiver, under the barrel band, and under the bayonet lug/front band. Plus I would put greased paper shims under the bands where they contacted the barrel. Others have good luck by just removing the bands from the stock and running it free-floating. Oh! And remember to tighten the receiver s crews real good.You'll know you are in the ballpark for bedding when all your shots touch at 50 meters.
Good luck!

Is your m38 a Husqvarna model? If so IMHO I would NOT do anything that would forever alter it. If you plan on shooting it L/R (in the US thats over 600 yards) I would think you'll need beter sights than the orignal "leaf" non windage adjustable one.
The FSR m96 rifles were setup for L/R shooting with adjustable rear sights and usually a globe type front sight. Perhaps you should look for one of them. I shot Palma Matches some years ago with a fellow that used a Swede m96 in a "plastic" stock. He shot well with it.
