[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 457742, member: 2736"] Action screws should be tightened to 35 inch pounds to 65 inch pounds depending on the rifle and the service it is in. If it has a good bedding it should not change much but if you first torque starting at 35 in/lbs and go up in 5 in/lb increments until it shoots the most consistent. Then each time you take it out of the stock, re torque at the same torque it should repeat. When placing an action back in the stock always just snug it up and bump the butt on the floor to help it find the best/original position and then torque to 1/2 the value and then to the final original setting. If it is bedded you should not torque as much as if it is pillar bedded.(The pillars will not compress and can stand the full 65 in/lbs. There are many post on torque so do a search and you will get plenty of info. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
