Loosening action screw- New stock as a solution?

[topher89]

I have a Weatherby Vanguard S2 that was great in the beginning. Last year or 2, groups started opening up. Determined it was the action screw. Got it back up to torque and it was fine for a little but the screw loosened up again.

What are my solutions?
1. Loctite?
2. Send off to the gunsmith?
3. New stock like a Bell and Carlson Medalist or even a Hogue?

Thanks in advance for the thoughts!

Degrease with acetone, nail polish or loctite and torque to spec

Depends on why your screw is coming loose. Blue loctite (gun tight) can be a good fix. If the treads are loose, then running a tap can help. If the stock is weak there, often a metal washer can be inset for the screw head to tighten against.
