[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1104799, member: 12995"] I'm glad you did not take the tone in my post as negative or condescending...As it was not intended to be that way. I was just simply stating what I know about that situation and what would most likely be the root-cause of the issues he mentioned. All but 2 of my 700's are Devcon bedded, and the factory action screws torqued to 65 inch-pounds. You don't need anymore pressure than that to a 700 action in a pillar bedded or aluminum bedded stock. My 700's with wooden stocks that have been glass-bedded I use 45 inch-pounds. Not a single action screw has broken. My guess as to his action screw issues, is that he is either not using a torque wrench, or if he is, he is torquing [B]WAY[/B] beyond recommended torque specs.
