[QUOTE="nealm66, post: 3086747, member: 114809"] I just got got a wooden stock savage model 10 in 7mm-08 to work on. I notice the gap on the rear tang. The action screws had no torque on them, guessing the wood has shrank. The fit of the receiver looks and feels really good. I was thinking of pillars and bedding but I’m wondering if the wood is going to expand and contract that maybe just keeping a consistent torque on the action screws might be better in the long run? I haven’t shot it, owner just said it shot like crap. It had a tasco scope. I am not a gunsmith, I just enjoy helping friends and family out [/QUOTE]
