If you mean the barrel nut is not tight, that could easily be your problem,
and I strongly suggest head-space be checked by a qualified person before firing again.
IMHE, Savage action screws are very poor quality, the heads are soft, & the hex fit is sloppy and easily stripped, especially with poor quality, soft Allen type hex wrenches.
I am currently replacing several with better quality hex socket cap screws, but would prefer Torx head if I can find any suitable.
IMHO, all threaded connections should be lubricated with anti-seize or LocTite.
Good Luck, YMMV.

No not the front action screw. The Accustock has in effect three action screws, front, rear, and a screw that wedges the recoil lug.
