[QUOTE="nksmfamjp, post: 2375232, member: 1951"] I guess everyone has their own opinion. I used 35ftlbs on my last Savage. My goal is to get them off without destroying the barrel. You need grease, torque wrench, barrel vise and action wrench. You shouldn’t need an action wrench, but you have to keep it from turning, sooooo. Grease needs to prevent galvanic corrosion and galling. I think aeroshell 33 is common enough and does both. Torque wrench doesn’t have to be a great one, but you do need to translate the torque from wrench head to bore centerline. Easy enough to find online. Barrel vice. If you are torquing to 80 ft lbs or taking factory barrels off, you need the big vice, imo. I hope some of this helps. [/QUOTE]
