I have a flat-back savage and got frustrated with the tiny mounting screws that hold my EGW scope rail on it. I went to check the torque with a torque wrench (25 inch pounds) before my hunt coming up and the screw head stripped. I'm thinking of enlarging the holes and tapping it for bigger screws and having the scope rail opened up as well.

Anyone ever done this or see an issue with it?

Tony.
