[QUOTE="jdyoung, post: 1876918, member: 113391"] I’m not overly familiar with the X-Bolt construction. Never owned one. Browning seems to have done the same as other manufactures and placed the forward receiver/trigger guard screw (Browning calls it a “Barrel Screw”), behind the recoil lug into the locking lug chamber of the receiver. One place I started checking on our Rem 700’s ,(which have this construction feature), is how far into the receiver the front action/trigger guard screw protrudes into threaded hole. On the Rem 700 , you can extract the bolt and peer into the bottom of the receiver locking lug area and see the threaded hole for the front screw, ( easier done with the scope off and if you don’t have a bore scope). The screw should be fully threaded into the lower receiver wall, but not too far so as to protrude into the locking lug chamber and block the bolt from rotating closed. The bolt tip should be flush with the interior wall of the receiver. Maximum contact between ALL the threads of the trigger guard screws into the action should give stability of the barreled receiver in the stock. On a Rem 700 that is 4 1/2-5 threads. Anything less is just not gettin it. My first “glass bedding “ attempt years ago didn’t provide the improved accuracy I wanted UNTIL ,after checking as above , I installed longer action screws.
