M77VT torque specs
I have a KM77 MKII VT, and was wondering what the recommended torque is for the action screws. It has a laminated stock. I know that the middle screw should be just snug, but am a little unsure about the main fasteners. Any other thing " quirky" that anybody may know of would be appreciated.
Happy New Year.

Re: M77VT torque specs
I have one and sent it back to Ruger for being "inaccurate". Well they said the action screws were loose. I had them torqued at about 55 inch lbs. The guy at Ruger said 95!! Shoots sub .5" groups now.

Wow, that seems high, but if that is what the factory says! I know that this is laminated wood too!

I agree it was high to me. I had to buy a new torque wrench.

I bought a Fat Wrench awhile ago. It stops at 65lbs. But I torque my wood stocks rifles at 45lbs.

I have one of those, and use it on every dis assembly. What a awesome little device. It has all the bits commonly used in our hardware, including hardware for scopes, and bases. Imay have to use my in/ lb torque wrench from work if it is 95.
