[QUOTE="tobnpr, post: 2130887, member: 68758"] I've never really understood the theory as to action screw torque affecting accuracy, assuming the receiver is correctly, [I]stress free[/I] pillar bedded. This is how we check for a correct bedding job, placing an indicator on the barrel and tightening/loosening action screws. If the receiver moves, it's not bedded correctly. Shouldn't matter if it's 40 in/lbs or 60- no way the receiver could know the difference unless it's being "bent" due to improper (or lack of) bedding job. Different on a factory, or otherwise un-bedded stock or even many chassis systems. The fitment is not precise, and torque will affect how the receiver is stressed and will shoot. [/QUOTE]
