[QUOTE="specweldtom, post: 195920, member: 2580"] I have had 2 rifles that responded to 75 in lbs of torque, but all the rest liked 65 or less. If the stock has pillars, I'd start at 45 and work up if need be. If it is bedded and has pillars, that is still a good place to start. If it doesn't have pillars, I'd start about 30 - 35 in lbs and stay below 45. JE Custom's last post on action screw torque is on pg 3 of the gunsmithing forum under that thread. Check to see if Stiller and Borden recommend a torque range for their actions. Sounds like some good project guns, Tom [/QUOTE]
