[QUOTE="Doom2, post: 2323412, member: 108323"] Just thinking about this issue and looking at the Owner's Manual. This rifle seems to be a pillar bedded composite or synthetic stock. Reading the instructions it recommends tightening the rear action screw first which appears to be the furthest from the recoil lug, then the forward screw to 35 inch-lbs. This seems backwards to me. I am wondering if the stock is possibly compressing and/or holding some stress from the previous firings. I would look ar the recoil lug area also and make sure everything looks good. I had a friend with a 204 (Howa or Vanguard I don't remember) that complained about the same issue. He never resolved it. Sold the rifle. [/QUOTE]
