[QUOTE="7stw, post: 703775, member: 22854"] Lefty, I'm beginning to wonder if the threads in you rifle are loose, or do you have a very loose fitting stock. I have heard or read a few times that you have had issues with fasteners coming loose. But didn't you recently replace them with new hex heads? Either one of the two things I mentioned will cause that. If you have a lot of " play" ine the threads when the screw is in the hole, you may have to use loctite as a normal regiment. If not, then you definitely need to bed the action. Might I recommend pillar bedding it as well. I recently did just that, on a 700 LSS, and you wouldn't believe the difference on paper that made. Good luck in your quest. [/QUOTE]
