The barrel screw was just snug with no idea its torc setting. I checked accuracy with a known load it likes. After settling in from a few shots it starting grouping into 1/2" for 3 shots. Will it do it continuously? Time will tell.

That means your rifle should be glass bedded. I'd be leery of that one, if your torque setting is that low. Eventually it will split the stock. Just a warning..
