[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 32308, member: 8947"] For more detailed info, check my post in the Getting started section on a 300RUM. If your rifle is properly bedded, you only need firm hand pressure on the action screws. The screws will go from loose to full tight in 1/2 turn. No mushiness, or increasing tension/creep. Situations where heavy torque, mushiness, or increasing tension/creep is apparent is a clear indicator that the bedding is out of whack. Most commomly seen in expensive synthetic stocks with CNC alum bedding. These have some of the worse bedding made today. I go into lots of detail in my post. Good luck... Jerry [/QUOTE]
