Have not used this rifle for 16 years. Likely torqued with brace and bit back in 2003. Tried to unscrew the actions screws with both brace and bit and torque wrench. No movement with some force. Maybe this tells me the action and actions screws are tight enough that the 338 will not shoot loose and have not loosened up in 16 years.
Originally I was going to remover the actions screws and clean it up and re-screw and zero 338 in again. Maybe best to just leave it alone and see how it shoots? Or other ideas on how to loosen up the action screws. It is possible that back then I had applied blue glue with the torque wrench or brace and bit and it is in securely tight. The action was pillar bedded. Any ideas or suggestions?
