[QUOTE="JAYgs8163, post: 2708398, member: 37460"] To the OP it would appear to me that you’ve added some stress to your action by doing a incomplete “spot bedding job”. If you changed the fit by the recoil lug action screw, then you more than likely changed the orientation of the rear action screw also, this would create a new stress to the action which would change how it shoots, could be better or worse, just depends. I’ve done spot bedding before but always did both the recoil lug and the rear tang, never just the lug. Remember one of the results you’re looking for is a “stress free result” when torquing your action screws back in place. It’s hard to do just the recoil lug and action screw without adding a new stress to the action. If you’re trying to bed the lug to remove any potential movement of the lug, then just bed the lug and stay away from the lug action screw area. [/QUOTE]
