Time Periods
Your Action/Adventure should go with the times.
Action/Adventure is such a versatile genre, it fits into any time period known to mankind. Even before humans walked the earth, dinosaurs, other animals, and even plants can be the main protagonist in an action/adventure.
Once you decide during which time period you are setting your story, it is a good idea to do a little bit of research. For instance, if your story is going to have airplanes in it, then don't be caught writing about the stealth bomber, which is rumored to have its very first trials during World War II in a story that is set in World War I.
The same goes for small gadgets that your characters use too. While it might be fun to give your characters some fantastical sci-fi bit of equipment, it looks weird to give them a digital watch when they are medieval knights.
Don't spend too much time researching, unless your aim is to produce a 100% accurate historical account with a fictional twist. Extensive research can easily become a procrastination tool to avoid actual time spent writing. So, know your stuff, but don't sweat it too much either. If Jules Verne had stuck to what was available at the time, his books would be pretty dull.

For my last Action/Adventure newsletter "Artifacts" , I got the following replies:
Azrael Tseng  wrote: Thank you for featuring my story in your newsletter. It's wonderful to be mentioned on the same page as Indiana Jones, probably my all-time favorite adventurer!
 Yes, Indiana Jones is a pretty fun adventurer to read about and watch in movies.
Monty  wrote: Well written N/L with the points well made without getting boring.
Thank you for your kind assessment of my newsletter.
Quick-Quill  wrote: I have been watching the Curse of oak Island as well as the new Civil War Gold Two real life Indiana Jones. I love stories that involve historical events. It's the conflicts that the hero must face that intrigues most of us.
I agree that the conflict in a story is why the reader or viewer stays with a story. The artifact is a reason for the protagonist to get into peril/conflict in the first place.
