[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 194433, member: 10755"] crackher, If you have a HS Precision stock,it is doubtful that your zero will change after you remove it,but as the other guys said it's a good idea to check. I have 2 Rem 700 VSSF switch barrel rifles in 22-250 and 22-250 Ackley,which necessitates that I remove the stocks to change barrels.Neither rifle change their zero after this,if I remove the barrel that it is sighted for,and replace it,the zero stays the same.If I change to the other barrel there is always a slight difference in zero because of different barrel vibration from one to the other. If you want consistency in your stocks bedding,never tighten your action screws more than 1/4-1/2 a turn past finger tight,this equates to about 65 inch/lbs.DO NOT USE 'T' Handle allen wrenches to tighten your action screws,EVER!Only use the 3"-3.5" bent allen wrenches!I screw the bolts in with the long end in the bolt to snug it up first,then I use the the short end in the bolt to bring it up to spec,as stated above.
