[QUOTE="Laelkhunter, post: 3086762, member: 38154"] Could be that over time, the wood compressed, possibly from oil migrating to that area while the rifle was being stored. The oil softened the wood, and it compressed slightly. My Weatherby Mk V did the same thing, so I just removed the screw, polished the end with a Dremel until it didn't contact the bolt , then blued the tip of the screw that was now shiny from being polished. Nothing else was needed and all is well. [/QUOTE]
