I missed a chip shot on a deer sitting on a field edge with my son on one Thanksgiving afternoon. The buck hopped the fence and landed 15' from us. It stared at us forever as my son was in my lap and trying not to giggle. He was 4 at the time. He ran off about 50yds and stopped. I hit him, good blood but quickly dried up. Never found that deer and I looked for HOURS. Anyway, I get home and the action screws on my model 70 were extremely loose.
I have a Winchester Model 100 243, super cool rifle. I took it out one year for nostalgia and when I racked a bullet in it (semi-auto), the bolt got stuck forward. If the rear action screw loosens at all, the bolt falls forward over the trigger and it's locked shut. This is actually a common problem in that rifle. Had to take it to a smith and get the stock broke to get it fixed. They did a great job and you can't even tell.
I've had scope mount screws back off as well.
So my answer is yes to all of the "questions".
