From the factory, the Model 504 Remington rifle is equipped with action draw down screws located centrally and at the front receiver ring. The remainder of the receiver rearward is essentially free floating back of the central pillar for a distance of more than three inches. The addition of a third action screw at the rear tang, along with a well placed pillar, adds strength to the overall bedding system.
