[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 825386, member: 5219"] Two of my friends shoot 1000 yd and torque their rifle action screws. They got me doing it with all my rifles. It isn't a bad idea to torque so should you take your rifle apart you can reassemble without altering POI as much. They like to start out with front action screw at 40 and rear at 35 in/lb. They will then alter rear action screw torque up or down in 5 in/lb increments noting changes. Then they would add 5 to front and rear and repeat. I like to start out with 45 front/40 rear and work from there. My 300 RUM likes 50/50 but most other rifles do well with 45/40. [/QUOTE]
