[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1599709, member: 24284"] Ya' yoteslayer, you're "pretty much an idiot"! You state yourself that "when you torque the screws down it's bending the action". THERE is the problem, the action is not properly bedded. Fix the bedding! I have a formal gunsmithing education and now 25+ yrs at the bench. I have built well over 400 custom rifles in that time and I have NEVER had to remove material from the cocking piece to get a rifle to fire reliably! With proper bedding and clearances so the trigger is not touching the stock or bottom metal, I never will, neither will any other rifle builder. When you "bend the action", by torqueing the action down because of the lack of stress free bedding you are destroying any accuracy potential that might be there , otherwise. To recommend "hacking" on the cocking piece without concern for proper stock and bottom metal clearances and proper, stress free bedding is completely irresponsible and shows a lack of understanding of the principals involved.
