Figure this would be an easy find but wasn't.

Anyway I ask b/c on my 3rd stevens build I noticed that depending on how I tighten the action screws, the harder/easier it makes the bolt lift. I'm using a Praire Dog Special stock that is un-bedded. Is this causeing the action to torque? Should I do the front or rear bolt first? I noticed that the rear bolt torque doesn't have as much to do with it as the front bolt near the lug. Right now I have them hand tight with just a standard allen wrench and not a whole lot of pressure. If I crank on a T-handle on the front bolt it makes the bolt lift heavy.

Thoughts?

Thanks, John
