UPDATE
I went shooting today and I believe I have some things worked out but not sure if there good things . I did the testing the way Stan Pete says to do it with one difference . I started the back screw at 15lbs and It worked exactly the way he said it would . My first group was 1.5 moa the next a little less till I hit 30inch-lbs with a .7 moa group . At 35lbs the group started to open up and 40lbs it was over 1 moa again .
woo hoo write ? WRONG !!! I readjusted the rear screw back to 30in-lbs and just wanted to check the front screw because it turned out the same torque was best for both . When I checked it the screw was loose and I was able to give it about a 1/4 turn before the torque wrench broke at 30lbs . GRRR
at that point I have no idea what torque gave me that .7moa group so I started over with the front screw at 40lbs . Long story short . Same thing happened again , the front screw got loose . This whole proses took a couple hours and not all had to do with the testing of this rifle . There was another guy there that had the same rifle but put a different stock on it . It was some Tacticool thing. I think it was called a XLR

Anyways after talking with him about my issues . He said he would get two separate groups in the same sting as well with the accu-stock and had other issues as well and is why he changed the stock . While talking about all this I asked what he torqued the new stock too . The XLR recommends torquing both screws to 65lbs . That seemed like alot compared to what Stan was saying but it is a different stock so I'm sure it's right . I went back and loosened the screws back up and re-torqued it the front screw down to 60lbs and stripped the screw . ---- Just kidding
I crack me up .
-- I then put the rear screw at 20lbs and started testing again . The rifle no longer changed group sizes as I put more torque on the rear screw and if it did I did not notice it . The rifle and I were now shooting 1 moa or a little under . the screws did not get loose again and that is where I left it for now .
I probably should have tried it at 50lbs on the front screw but I just blew right past that and went from 40 to 60 lbs . Right now it set at 60lbs in front and 35lbs in back . I will add at this torque I do not get 2 different groups in the same string and I shot a few 6 and eight round strings . How ever when I first started the testing I did get the double grouping but that was when the front screw was getting loose at the same time i was torquing down the back one .
I'm thinking of getting a new stock ( not the one in link above ) but I'll work with this one a bit more and see how it goes .
I shot well today as far as keeping the rifle still . I could keep the reticle to 1/4 moa or less of movement and that was much better then last time out .
I did try taking 2 to 3 breaths before the hold and all that seemed to do was make my heart beat faster and I had to wait for it to slow down to shoot . so the one deep breath exhale half and hold worked real well for me today .
Dry firing was a big help I feel because I did not leave the rifle . I was a little surprised that I would flinch on a dry fire some times
what's up with that ? I do feel it helped I I will be doing it more . Although I knew dry firing can help work on trigger pull and flinch thanks for reminding me of it .
I forgot to have someone load the rifle for me and when looking back on the day I think I could have had one of the guys I was talking with help me out with that but oops I forgot .
