[QUOTE="Daveinjax, post: 898883, member: 48429"] I want to describe my personal technique and maybe learn some and an educational opportunity for others. I use the action screws to pull the action down into the bedding and the Dr and others don't. When I put my action into the bed it is supported by the built up tape keeping it centered in the channel and the back end of the tang. I have dry fitted it ahead of time and made any adjustments needed to get it where I want it. I set the action on the screws and tart to slowly pull it down. As it comes tight I apply just enough pressure to settle everything right and let it sit for a minute. I then back off the screws until free then re tighten until they just start to bump again. Maybe an inch pound of pressure. I let it set like this. My thinking is this results in less torque and deflection when finally assembled for firing. With the pressure I'm using I should not be deflecting the action but I am assuring perfect alignment with the way the action will be torqued down to when assembled. If I don't use the screws and bottom metal then I have no precise reference and the action can be set slightly off in any direction from the bottom metal and screw angles. These small offsets will induce torque and deflection in the final assembly. So , my question to those wo just set the action in the stock is how do you get precise alignment of the action screws to action ? Btw , I don't know why it is quoting me as I didn't use quote .
