When tightening the rear screw on my stock, the threads of the screw start protruding into the channel of the bolt. This causes an interference when cycling the bolt. I have backed the screw off, but I don't feel it's tight enough. Anyone have an opinion on this?

Not sure about your rifle but I have had other bolt action rifles that did the same thing. I just backed the bolt out till it cleared. The other bolt or bolts should be the main holding force and not so much the rear bolt.

I'd take out the bolt, and see what the length and thread size is, and look for a shorter one.
If you can't find a shorter one, another option is to shorten that one so you can tighten it and not have the bolt interference. |

If the "bottom metal" is dropping below the stock line, make a washer/shim to go between it and the stock. |

I have silly question. Are the front and rear screws a different length? If so are they backwards?

Early manuals had the 20 INCH pounds spec that is used for the Metal trigger guards on the hawkeye rifles. The Scout needs 10 INCH pounds due to the plastic trigger guard. Please note the INCH pounds

It's possible that someone, at some point in time overtightened the action screws, and deformed the polymer trigger guard. Check the guard, and see if it's crushed a bit. If so, call Ruger, and they'll take care of you.
