Big E - yes the rear action screw. Originally i was torquing 45 "/lb front and 25"/lb rear to match what i was measuring on the rifles as delivered. It seems over time that the stock material at the rear of the ejection port 'yields' and then 25 became too much to keep the tang from making contact. i demonstrated this a few times at the local range, with witness, when i had a sporter .243 installed on a 12 fv. The effect is more pronounced, i believe, than with the original hvy varmint bbl.
