[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1879133, member: 5219"] I have three tang safety Rugers. Something that has not been mentioned is that the front action screw goes into a blind hole. It is possible that the action screw will bottom out before the action is tight in the stock. This is especially prevalent with rifles that have been bedded. Some bedding material can end up in the blind hole. Inspect and remove material or if necessary shorten action screw to prevent this problem. You didn't mention it but you probably are using Ruger rings. It is possible that rings can be installed improperly. Careful inspection of the way the scope ring fits with the integral base cutouts is critical. I know it sounds crazy but it is possible to misalign them. Not a bad idea to lap the rings I copied and pasted some other things worth mentioning from my documents files: Poor crown, optimal way is to check with bore scope Action screw holes in stock too small, drill larger so sides of action screws won't touch stock Bolt handle touching stock Mag box must not bind Trigger group must not touch stock Trigger guard must not touch trigger Action screws properly torqued Barrel having adequate clearance where it is supposed to be floated. Some stock flex especially when using a bi-pod can have barrel touching when fired. Clean bore Hope you get it shooting. [/QUOTE]
