[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 443131, member: 25383"] being as Savage stole my wedge design (they know it) and never asked. Let me tell you how I did the setup up before it was even a slight thought in their minds. First run the action screws down to where they might have about five or ten inch pounds of torque on them at the max. Now tighten the wedge screw to where it's got about 30 inch pounds of torque (I always lubed the wedge with powdered graphite). After that I torqued the front screw (close to the wedge) to about forty inch pounds, and the other at about 35 inch pounds. How Savage says to do it I don't know, but that's how I was doing it fifteen years ago and it works well (do it in ten inch pound steps by the way). Also check the tang area of the stock to see if it has clearence. Every Savage rifle I've owned had this area touching, and that's a big no no with them. gary [/QUOTE]
