    This would be how I would usually go about it but may be a mission as this screw has a fat shank that runs about 15 mil down before the thread starts. Can see myself ballsing somthing up. Might give the drill and studd remover a go. Be a useful top to have anyway

    Yep. Rifle arrived to my ownership allready stuck. All sorted now though, got new action screws through the importer and used a stud/screw remover and a big ass wrench.

    New bolts are toured to spec haha. Interestingly the recommended action screw torques are quite sedate at 35ftlb for the rear and 45 ftlb for the front.
