I noticed the action screws out of the box were only "good n snug". I was surprised. A lot of the plastic stocks(with pillars) call for some pretty tight settings. Weatherby says 55 inch pounds on their accumark and fibermark stocks !!! That sounds way too tight to me, but, ?
As I was re-assembling, I held the stock so I feel it "snugging" up. I went up to 25 " lb and it still felt like the stock was drawing closer to the action. Seems to me that would leave the action "stressed", but I'm no expert by any means. I really like the rifle so far, it "points" very well, and is nice and light. The balance will be better after the scope is installed. So, I guess I'll "snug" the action scews, locktite'em, and see how it shoots. Thankful for folks willing to share their knowledge and experience.......Gary
