now it looks like I got some more testing to do
Torquing too tight in an unbedded stock can cause stress in the action and effect the rifle's performance. Then again, screws settling into new/unbedded timber will cause some variation as well.
Keep it in the plastic stock for now if it's shooting good.
In the meantime, put some pillars in the boyds and full length bed the action. It's a fiddly job but a fun project and worthwhile.
Mine is pillar and full length bedded. Just crank the action screws evenly and she shoots straight.
