[QUOTE="RDM416, post: 507085, member: 3745"] 700man, I normally tighten both action screws to 65 inch/lbs. From what I have seen, somewhere in the 60 to 70 is pretty much where most shooters set theirs depending on the action and stock. I assume you are using a torque wrench? Is your stock bedded and barrel floated? If it is not you should consider bedding it or having it done. You can very easily have a "high" spot or two in you stock channel and even though you have the screws tight, the action may still be moving around at each shot. [/QUOTE]
