Winchester Model 70 Bolt Binding

I have a 5 year old Winchester Model 70 that has some accuracy problems. 1 out of every 3 or 4 shots is off by a few inches at 100 yrds. It may be me but I suspect the gun. I took stock off the other day and when I reassembled it the bolt was difficult to close. It moves smoothly through most of the stroke but binds just as it closes. There are 3 screws that hold the action to the stock. I followed instructions to tighten the front screw first, then the rear screw and finally middle screw and that the front screw should be very tight, the rear screw fairly tight and the middle screw just snug. In order to get the action to close smoothly I need to loosen the front screw until it is snug but not tight. I would appreciate any advice anyone could give on if this could be causing my accuracy problems and what I need to do to resolve the issue.
