? about Mcrees stock screw settings

[number1olddog]

I recently received my Mcrees stock for my Savage 10 P-SR. I cleaned off underside of receiver and barrel/recoil lug area and mounted and equally tightened the front and rear action screws by hand. I then torqued to 65 inch pounds as stated. I noticed that the front screw in chamber area sits below flush as before on older stock but the rear screw is unseen. You can see 3 threads deep before you can feel for the rear action screw with a dental pick just to make sure it is there. On my older crappier Savage stock both the front and rear action screws sat below flush in receiver and I want to make sure there is something that maybe I missed. Mcrees is off to Shot to getting ahold of a technical guy will be at least a week. Thanks.

Sounds good to go to me. I just looked at my savage 10FP action in my Macree, didn't count the threads but it's way down there.

yep its down there, some stocks you have to grind the screws to fit flush, not a prob with the Mcrees, just make sure you tq in sequence, I do 5 -10 inch pounds in front then back then bang rifle on floor to seat the lug, then tighten to 65 front to rear.
