[QUOTE="Topshot, post: 377981, member: 13285"] Groper, Sounds like you are on the right track. Drill out the holes to clear the action screws. Bed the action and rear of recoil lug. When you bed the action, do it stress free. i.e. don't screw down the action tight into wet bedding compound. just let it sit in the mud until it is set overnight then remove it and clean up any bedding contact points near trigger, magazine well, action screws etc. Then let it set for a few days to get real hard. Don't shoot it within 24 hours as it might not be set properly. Once the bedding compound is properly set, torque the action into the stock. I have mine set this way at 47in-lb. [/QUOTE]
