    New 110 storm - checking action screws


    Howdy,
    Just got my 110 Storm. Do y’all recommend that I check the torque on my action screws? What do you do as a once over? I am going to start by cleaning it. The stainless has a tacky look, which may be packing grease.

    All advice is welcome.

    Thanks!

    Clean away. Use a soft brush in the bore. Checking the action screw torque is never a bad thing. Try Savage's torque spec.
    The Dunning-Kruger effect is alive and well.

    New 110 storm - checking action screws

    That storm stock needs to be stiffened in some way. I would fill the fore-ends internal gridding up with a liquid epoxy.
    Wrap the barrel with tape and set barreled action into the stock while it cures. Only snug it up. This should create a nice even float of the fore end away from the barrel.

    After curing take it back apart and bed the front of the action and the recoil lug. With original JB weld. Or similar flowable bedding compound.
    Leave the tape on the barrel and again snug it up until it cures.

    Break it loose and clean up what you have to. Remove tape etc.

    Put the rifle back together snug and check for full and liberal barrel clearance away from the stock.


    Add weight to the rear part of the stock if you choose for balance. I take the butt plate off and fill with silicone window calk.

    After she’s ready you can tighten that front lug up to 60# and my back lug tunes best at about 25#

    Cheers

    Just my opinion clean it first and then shoot it, from my experience you dont have to do anything else even with the cheaper stocks the storm has a accu stock so unless you just like doing save your money. some here will criticise me for saying this but there is no need for any of that from my experience

    If it came with a scope - remove it and the rings and torque the base screws and ring screws as well.

    After watching this video you'll not only know everything you need to know about what you need to check on your new Savage, but you'll also know why I never attempted a career in acting.
