[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 201261, member: 2736"] Scott I allways change out the screws if they are not allen or torx head screws to get proper torque values on the screws. With ether the torx or allen wrenches ( L shaped) you can only apply about 20 to 30 inch/lbs to 1/4-28 bedding screws. and with 6/40 to 8/32 screws about 15 to 20 inch/lbs with out bending the wrench. Inch/pound torque wrenches are a must if you take your rifle out of the stock for cleaning or other reasons,if you want it to return to or near the same zero. Brownells sells torque wrenches fairly cheep. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
