[QUOTE="MNbogboy, post: 1268126, member: 18849"] My son had a similar problem with his 700, newly torqued action screws caused a loss in accuracy... It is a common problem with stock changes and repair/replace operations with Savages as well (often harder to detect)...Afterward the front action screw actually can touch the recoil lug..A slight mis-alignment of the bolt/case/chamber can make a drastic change in precision...This can often be felt by resistance when closing or opening the bolt but not always...Marking the recoil lug with a sharpie, lamp black or bluing and cycling the bolt with a loaded round (or dummy round indoors) will most often reveal interference of this sort.. A simple check for a common problem and an easy fix with a good file, might be worth the time to check. Just a thought and good luck, Randy [/QUOTE]
