I have a 35 whelen Ruger77 MKII I'm putting in a new McSwirly. The MacMillan inleting seems about perfect and the stock is beautiful with a perfect centered barrel channel fit - just lightly floated.

The problem is I can't seem to adjust or move the three action screws so that the floorplate completely latches. I've trying multiple times with different sequences and torgues and even shims. I get it close but the latch never fully closes.

Any advice on the right approach here to tighening the screws/shims or whatever? I think it's a problem because of the segmented bottom metal and the angled recoil screw.

If any one has any tips I'm all ears.

I haven't given up trying yet but it sure is a pain.

It's SUCH a nice stock - shame to not get it 100% right.

Thanks
