    New Boyds Prairie Hunter Stock Issue

    Finally got around to ordering a Prairie Hunter (Forest Camo) for my B.Mag w/bull barrel. Installation wasn't all too difficult. No bedding...yet.

    Was excited to get to the range and sight it in. Here's where I encountered a problem. I can't get the magazine to click in. I see nothing blocking proper insertion. No wood in the way. The only thing I could think of is the receiver isn't sitting deep enough in the stock. Both magazines worked fine in the factory stock, which lead me to believe this.

    I read in another thread to set the action screws to 15-18"lbs. to improve accuracy. So I set it to ~18"lbs. I tried tightening the action screws to 25"lbs. but it made no difference.

    Anyone experience this? If so, what was the fix? I figured I'd ask before I butcher the stock and toss $140 out the window.

    TIA
