[QUOTE="JayIdaho, post: 34066, member: 2379"] FWIW.... A new barrel with good threads and a true shoulder being put on a custom action or trued-up Remington is torqued to about 70 ft.lb. by me. I chose that number because it "felt about right" and I want to be consistent. More or less will probably work fine. I have seen a barrel (not one of mine) loosen up at a 1k match, the shooter was not happy. [/QUOTE]
