[QUOTE="ERH, post: 616063, member: 34517"] I would be interested in what a Gun Smith would say on the Bedding of the 8400 since Kimber touts a superior bedding. I shall investigate. Bolt torque is important and the sequence is also important. I have a torque wrench that I bought for my Ruger M77 to ensure the main lug is factory spec. Trigger pull for target can be as low as you have it but in the woods with cold fingers, 3 pounds allows enough feel and is widely supported by veteran hunters for a multitude of reasons. Most rifle triggers break above 5 pounds and are responsible for many inaccuracies as is flinching. I always wear a shoulder pad at the bench. I use a Lyman Electronic Trigger Pull gauge to check trigger weight. It is the best tool for this. [/QUOTE]
