One of the things I've noticed while doing all this is the back screw bottoms out . Meaning once I hit 30lbs it stops turning and does not seem to get tighter . The front screw will turn just a little every 5 to 10lbs up to 60lbs or so .

I'm thinking the front of the action continues to wedge it self into the bedding giving it a tighter and tighter fit with each torque . The back does not seem to do that . It does get tighter per turn as you work up to 30lbs but seems to get to 30 faster . Meaning from 20 to 30lbs the back screw turns 1/8 of a turn . While the front screw will turn a 1/4 turn in that same 10lb window . I'm not sure what that means to my whole situation or if either of those thing will cause the rifle to vibrate inconsistently .

That's just something I noticed and thought I'd throw it out there .
