I'm not sure what the significance is with the order of tightening and loosening the action screws as I mentioned above. It was the answer that I got when I asked the question, possibly only pertaining to laminated stocks, which all mine are. He has 50 years of precision gun making, bench rest shooting, and was president of the International Benchrest Shooting Association for 7 terms and still sits on the board.

Who are we to question someone with those credentials. I know I can't. This question has probably been addressed before in the gunsmithing section. More than likely a few times.

I guess we will all do what continues to work for each of us. There is always more than 1 way to skin a cat.
