[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1507321, member: 5219"] IMO the stock change is your issue. The easiest thing to try is less action screw torque. Start as the linked article says @ 30 in/lb. [URL]http://www.accurateshooter.com/technical-articles/savage-action-screw-torque-tuning/[/URL] Some possible issues from my documents: If either action screw is a blind hole: check for bedding material or screw bottoming out forward most scope ring base screw touching threads of barrel. Action screw holes in stock too small, drill larger so sides of action screw won't touch Bolt handle touching stock Mag box must not bind Recoil lug could be making early contact in bottom of bedded slot causing the action to sit off bedding Front of trigger group must not touch stock Trigger guard must not touch trigger Uneven bedding--- tightening one action screw to see if the action pulls up at other end. Barrel should not make contact with barrel channel in front of bedding. Due to some flexing some rifles required additional material be removed from stock. Be sure to let us know what you discover. If you are reluctant to try some of these things bring it back to your gunsmith for an inspection. It shot before you switched stocks perhaps the two of you can figure out what changed. [/QUOTE]
