[QUOTE="Dolch, post: 2269258, member: 105121"] This is what I had referenced. 1. Ensure that the recoil lug “wedge” screw is backed out to the point where the wedge has sufficient vertical movement to allow the recoil lug to seat against the bottom of the aluminum rail. 2. With the action inserted into the stock, justify the action toward the rear of the stock to allow the recoil lug on the action to be seated against the boss on the aluminum rail. 3. Tighten the forward most screw to 10 in.-lbs. to seat the action against the aluminum rail boss, then back out one-half turn. 4. Tighten the middle action screw to 10 in.-lbs. 5. Tighten the rear action screw to 10 in.-lbs. 6. Tighten the forward action screw to 10 in.-lbs Repeat steps four through six and increase torque value in increments up to a final torque value of 30-35 in.-lbs. With the 300WM I would probably try 35 since that’s not a lot, but if your action still feels like it’s binding I would back off to 30. Maybe check it after a few shots. Another thing I remember was that I cleaned mine while it was apart as there was some light debris inside my stock from the factory. Good luck let us know what works when you get it right.
