I was under the impression that a properly bedded action didn't use the action screws as part of the recoil handling duties. I thought all recoil was transferred through the recoil lug. After I put the rifle back together waiting to decide what to do I started wondering if the centerfeed internal magazine would even fit ( to loose or to tight ) in the staggerfeed stock even if the rear pillar was notched in the same fashion as the Stevens stock. When I pull it apart I will check and compare the two.
