[QUOTE="frostop, post: 1507907, member: 22611"] GPR, I know that you are pretty frustrated with this rifle. The following is just my experience! I have had several Ruger M77 both mkI and mkII and after experimenting with torque levels, I have settled on a routine that seams to work. I will set the action in the stock and snug up the rear screw, not tight, than tighten the front screw as tight as I can get it, than go back to the rear and tighten it but not as tight, the middle screw just tight enough to keep it from coming loose. I have also replace the flat head screws that came in them with Allen head screws from brownells, to me they should have never come with flat head screws. All of these stocks have been bedded one of which is a boyds lightweight thumbhole that I have pillar bedded, it also has a sendero contour barrel that I had to inlet. [/QUOTE]
