[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 901481, member: 30902"] Get some carpenter's chalk line chalk, or even some baby powder. Remove the barreled action and give particularly the lug area a light dusting. Reinstall, torque both screws to at least 35 in/lbs and then go shoot it for five or ten rounds. Afterwards very carefully remove it lifting it straight up out of the stock. If it looks like the chalk is smeared from front to rear it's moving on you at least a little bit with each shot. If it is I'd redo the bedding. In a good stout stock with pillars I'd torque it a little more. Of course if the bedding is right there's no real reason to torque it any tighter. [/QUOTE]
