[QUOTE="jb1023, post: 1242462, member: 91995"] So I went out yesterday and tried a few things albeit not everything. I removed the cheek pad and loosened then tightened the action screws with my new Wheeler torque wrench. I set the wrench to loosen the bolts at 45 in/lbs and it would not remove the bolts. I set the wrench to 65 in/lbs and it did so they had been somewhere in between. I then set the wrench back to 45 and tightened them down. I also did the scope rings to 25 in/lbs, lots of torquing happened on all 8 screws. No more vertical stringing. Now, was the issue the action screws, scope rings or cheek rest? I am leaning towards action screws but will put the cheek rest back on next time out, will be a few weeks unfortunately. Another thing that happened yesterday is my initial shots were 2 MOA dead right. Easy enough fix but did not expect that much deviation so things must have been way out of wack. Thanks for all the help on this. [/QUOTE]
