How often do you check action screws?

[nutzo396]

Just took my rifle out of the safe to send it out for cerakote and noticed my front action screw was WAY loose. I just had it out last weekend for a few shots at the range and didn't notice it then. Which leaves me to wonder how long it had been that way and how often I should check the torgue on my action screws and scope rings?

Check torque every time you shoot... OR use witness marks like above- and check constantly.

I dont often get to shoot, so I would normally re-torque the action screw with a Seekonk every time before I shoot.

Same here, I check it everytime I shoot. Takes 1 sec to check.
