Help needed with new stock

[Jaimeb832]

New to this, I have this bergara rifle that I bought a new ridgeback stock for and since I changed it . My grouping has gone to shit and some of my bolts are coming loose. Is the gap between the barrel and stock too much that the vibration is causing this ?

No such thing as too much lack of interference.
What are you torquing your action bolts to? I assume that by “some bolts” you were referring to the action bolts.

Sorry I should have been more specific, the stock bolts, and the front ring for my night force scope came lose. Nothing I have experienced before

Get one of THESE. Then read instruction manual for scope and rings. Probably some specs for the action/stock but 45 inch/lbs or so.

Are you using a torque wrench to set action screws and ring bolts? If not, you absolutely should be.

And personally...and many will have different recommendations of tools that they favor....I like this kit with individual torque limiters and carry a set in my range bag at all times. And I have added a bit to it...low torque limiter (6 in/lbs) for scope turret screws. 2.5mm hex head for same, and their extension to let me get into hard to reach places has been helpful.
