I ordered dies, brass and Sierra 39gr. BlitzKing bullets. I also remembered to order a new cleaning rod and jag for the .204. I don't believe the rod I have fits anything smaller than .22 cal. I picked up the rifle yesterday and the scope mount should be here today or tomorrow. I sure hope we have a good crop of groundhogs this year! Too bad we can't import some prairie dogs. Don

Doc, I found this on another site and thought it might come in handy when removing the Accu-Stock and putting it back on. From what I've read many guys are having accuracy issues because they aren't replacing the Accu-stocks correctly.
"The other day I had a informative conversation with Mr. Chris Bezzina (main engineer at Savage Arms) who played a key part in the development of the AccuStock. I wanted to get detailed information on torque specs for the 10 LE weapons series. There is a sequence for reassembling in the manuals but for ultimate accuracy wanted by advanced shooters the recommended sequence is as follows.
Proper Adjustment of The AccuStock There is a specific technique for assembling the action into the AccuStock, and it needs to be strictly adhered to as follows:
1. Ensure that the recoil lug “wedge” screw is backed out to the point where the wedge has sufficient vertical movement to allow the recoil lug to seat against the bottom of the aluminum rail.
2. With the action inserted into the stock, justify the action toward the rear of the stock to allow the recoil lug on the action to be seated against the boss on the aluminum rail.
3. Tighten the forward most screw to 10 in.-lbs. to seat the action against the aluminum rail boss, then back out one-half turn.
4. Tighten the middle action screw to 10 in.-lbs.
5. Tighten the rear action screw to 10 in.-lbs.
6. Tighten the forward action screw to 10 in.-lbs
Repeat steps four through six and increase torque value in increments up to a final torque value of 40 to 45 in.-lbs.
Note: It is extremely important to tighten per the instructions above because when you are tightening the action down into the AccuStock you are spreading the aluminum side rails and evenly moving the action down onto the base of the rail, ensuring positive engagement."
