I recently put a new Boyd's stock on my Savage 12FV to see if I can squeeze some extra accuracy out of it. I'm planning to follow Stan Pate's idea but have a question regarding his article and my rifle's setup. I have 2 action screws, the rear holding the front of the trigger guard and then the rear trigger guard screw. For anyone who's done this, how tight do I need that rear trigger guard screw. will torquing it matter, or just "in" to hold the guard in place?

Should I just tighten that back screw in enough so it doesnt come out, then follow his plan with my 2 screw action?
