[QUOTE="Gene, post: 224524, member: 7402"] Yes, shoot it first. Tight screws will not necessarily make it shoot well. Tighten the action screws to about 55 inch lbs. Then alternately loosen one screw with your finger under barrel right at foreend. If movement is felt, action is not level. Then tighten that screw, and do the same with the second screw. Slight movement in either direction signals need for bedding. Glass may not be needed at the recoil lug, if it is tight against the block. Skim bed the action and about 1 1/2" beyond the recoil lug, into the barrel channel. [/QUOTE]
