[QUOTE="John Stranahan, post: 44960, member: 2040"] 65 inch pounds is not exactly heavy torque. It is the stock manufactures recommended torque. They sell a torque wrench through their web site to tighten the action screws. [url="http://www.hsprecision.com/new_shooters_log_book.htm"]HS Precision[/url] The bedding block only touches the action, to any great extent, at the front and the back. Not much contact near the middle to cause excessive bending. I agree that the V is wedged out a little. That is how it's designed. This provides rigid unmoving contact so that the rifle always finds the same resting state after the shot. If the screws are loose there may be some movement of the action in the stock. I also agree that 65 inch-pound is too much torque for a non pillar bedded wood stock, but just fine for the HS precision stock. When I tighten on my one piece scope base or tighten down the scope there is also a small tendency to bend the action. I think what's most important is that things stay put in exactly the same place after the shot. [ 07-20-2004: Message edited by: John Stranahan ] [/QUOTE]
