Help with gun problem

[leclairk]

Of the 3 stock screws I check, the first one closest to the barrel end was tight (I don’t have a torque drive with me only a standard driver), middle screw was about a half turn loose, and the one closest to the butt was at least a full turn loose. I will head out this evening and see if this was the problem. Fingers crossed. Thanks for the tips guys.

It worked. Thanks for the tips. Cold bore shot was dead on! I love simple solutions.

The screw torque is very very very important on a Savage.

I run 25 at the back and just slightly tight on the middle and 45-55 on the front. Always works for me in a well bedded stock.
