[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 177879, member: 8843"] I have never used a torque wrench but compairing it to how hard i torque my wheels on my truck i'd say maybe 75-80ft-lbs that with justa little dap of blue loctite and I've never heard of a problem with any of my guns. Thats with a regular rem 700 reciever with the threades cut to 1.075" which is .013" over factory generaly. I think that 60ft-lbs would be fine though. I have heard of some guys leaning over on a 24" long 1/2" breaker bar to tighten them probably around 200+lbs !!! I just don't see the point unless the barrel has a backwards twist that could cause it to shoot loose [/QUOTE]
