[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 874497, member: 2736"] There are many reasons to use a torque wrench. 1= you don't over stress the screw or part. 2=you apply the right amount of torque so the screw can be used again (Once over stressed, screws should be discarded to avoid failure. 3=In the case of bedding screws it is very important to use the correct torque for the type of stock and its use. Also if you have a good zero and have to take the action/barrel from the stock because of repairs or cleaning, You can re-torque to the same torque values and have a good chance that the zero's won't change, or at worst they will be very close. 4= And to stress the importance of good , consistent Torque In many cases you can start with minimum bedding screw torque (30 to 35 inch pounds) and increase accuracy by upping the torque in 5 pound increments until max accuracy is achieved with out reaching max torque values. I hope this helps everyone understand the importance of proper torque settings. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
