[QUOTE="Petersen, post: 2318679, member: 8372"] I think they were just working loose a little. Not really loose because the gun shot under 3/4 moa less than ten rounds before the screws sheared. Usually torque to specs but it has been a decade since messing with the base on this gun. I did not rough up action or base. Used kwikweld and no release agent. Shot two loads last night. The first shot was off target, figured out it was low and adjusted. Next two shots cut each other at 200. The next load had two touching and one off an inch or so but it was also windy. I think the gun will be ready to go in a week Or so. [/QUOTE]
