[QUOTE="birdiemc, post: 1582357, member: 29632"] Did you torque the action screws as they recommended? I suggest taking your torque screwdriver to the range with you, save yourself some frustration in case it doesn't shoot good to start with. I had issues with mine with a .308win, and read lots of forums to figure out it's a common problem. If it's not grouping well try starting at 40 in lbs and working up in 5 in lb increments till it tightens up. Some folks have found it takes different torque on front and rear action screws. Mine settled in at 70 in lbs front and rear. I ended up bedding my recoil lug too. Just thought I would offer some advice just in case, hope you dont need it though, hopefully everything works as advertised for you. [/QUOTE]
