Has anyone tried adding side take-down screws through the forearm of the stock into the action take-down block? I am considering this possibility as a means to stabilize the front/ back rock that the single screw has. I would drill and tap a hole perpendicular to, and on the same plane as the V-block screws, as close to the action as possible to create a three point method of securing the action/barrel to stock. I would also use flathead hex screws, just about long enough to reach the V-block screws, countersunk through small brass pillars to minimumize obtrusivness.

I think this would also provide some side to side tunability by tightening/losening apposing screws similar to windage adjusting scope mounts.

I'm thinking that drilling into that boss might become self defeating, in that if it weakens it at all, you might be inducing flex into that area. While the barrel/receiver atachment design is conveinent, it is also a weak link for stability of the unit, and any modification would tend to weaken an already marginal stable situation.

The idea is interesting, but I wonder if it might end up being a net loss? Not saying it would be, just woundering if it could be?

Ted i still want to do your bedding idea but i havent gotten the nerve to drill 4 holes in my stock. How did you get a good measurment to transfer to the outside. One more thing do you think it would be a good idea on a wood stock to use a pillar or something like in the Volq bedding kit for a buffer between the wood and screw. It would have to be a real tight fit for it to work but me an so taking the action in and out you wouldnt waller out the holes in the stock over time. Major

Sounds like an idea, I have added extra screws to the action in the past with minimal results either way. Ruger produces a nice large flat screw already that's the stock reinforcement screws for the mini rifles, they'd be well suited to this application.

Aloha Ted!
Hey, thanks for the info, I just got done doing the mod to my rifle, no rocking backing forth! I'm going to the range and try it out tomorrow. I hope to improve my groupings a bit, this mod locks in the action tight!

hey Ted, when you get some time, can you explain that to us? I don't know that I'm going to try it, but I'd like to know how you did it..

thanks.
