Hey there y'all!

My brother is putting his Sendero action back into the stock and we're not sure HOW MUCH Torque to apply to the two bolts in the bottom plate. Can someone tell us?

Thanks so much!

Do a search on torque recomendations.

I posted one that should answer your questions.

If it is wood,wood with pillars,wood with a bedding block.all of these variations have different torque.

Here is J E CUSTOM'S LIST.


How Tight

Torque

The question has been asked on several occasions
what the torque for bedding screws and scope bases
should be so I though this might be helpfull.

"NOTE" These are based on full engagement of threads.

Wood, Fiberglass or Synthetic stock without bedding pillars-
40 inch-lbs.

Wood, Fiberglass or Synthetic stock with bedding pillars -
up to 65 inch-lbs.

Hard-use service-type rifles in synthetic with pillars-
up to 65 inch-lbs.

Law enforcement & military rifles are 65 inch-lbs on each
of the guard screws.

On rifles with three guard screws the middle screw should
be only slightly tightened.

Scope base screws 30 inch-lbs "MAX"

Windage screws 30-40 inch-lbs "MAX"

Scope ring screws (Aluminum Rings) 10-15 inch-lbs "MAX"

Scope ring screws (Steel Rings) 15-20 inch-lbs "MAX"

Note' If scope base and ring Screws have less than 5 threads
of engagement they should be replaced with longer ones.

Barrel to receiver Torque 35 ft/lbs minimum to 95 ft/lbs Max.

If an anti seize compound is used instead of a light oil use 65
ft/lbs max to prevent over torquing.

I hope this will help

Can't argue with a list like that. I tend to tighten on the higher end of those numbers, but I grew up on a farm. There's tight and farmer tight.:D
