Thread: Dodgy recoil lug

@Bobba how did you go getting the screws ? In all seriousness I didnt find having the correct screws to be of consequence. I have bedded a Rem 700 and a BSA hunter in the last three weeks and used the same 'near enough screws' for both and they turned out perfect. Even the original correct screws are a loose fit in the holes in the stock, so therefore the screws do not 'align or centre' the action, they only near enough locate it. Add to that, the screws are wrapped with masking tape, so they are only a help. It is the bedding that aligns the action. The reference marks and 'dams' are far more important to have correct IMO. Something I did as a beginner that Nathan doesn't, was to put a few wraps of insulation tape around the barrel near the end of the fore-stock to make sure the barrel was centralised - just enough to touch each side of the fore-end, but not enough to create any upward pressure.
Hope it turns out perfect for you too
