Well I picked up my rifle today and it sure feels good in my hands. I own several firearms and some of them I connect with, and some I dont....I think this Savage is going to be one that I can "connect" with. The rubbery butt pad will take a little getting used to (I like them smooth so that they dont grab my clothes).

So here are some questions: It is my understanding that with the newer generation of accustock there is no need for any special torque specifications on the action screws, correct? Also, I understand that some kind of a picitany rail needs to be mounted first...for the scope rings to attach to? If so do I need a full length rail (that would span the ejection port), or two seperate short rails? Sorry for sounding like a goober but this is a little different than an A3 upper, so I want to get it right the first time.
