[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 895277, member: 11717"] Did you get the action blueprinted when you swapped barrels? It's also possible you got a bad Shilen barrel. It happens now and then with any barrel maker. The angled front action screw has been a source of a lot of problems in Rugers over the years. It's one of those things that looks good on the drawing board but in practice is not so good, If the screw is touching the stock anywhere it could cause problems. Also, IMO you should have installed pillars when you bedded it. The wood will compress over time and that will eventually lead to issues. Are you sure the bedding job was stress free? Here's a thread I started a few years ago about the possibility of doing a build on my Tang Safety M77. In post #9 you will see how some guys deal with the angled front action screw.
