[QUOTE="manitou, post: 1536874, member: 105280"] Yes Gills. On pillar bedded actions, they recommend higher torque values. On wood stocks, due to wood compression, they recommend lighter values. If you disassemble your X-Bolt and look at the rear hole for the action screw, it is only a half hole... making it not as rigid as a fully encircled hole... thus the reason for a lighter torque. Browning says their X-Bolts are glass bedded. Technically they are partially bedded, but they do shoot well as such. I completely epoxy bedded two of my X-Bolts... not because they needed it, but because I can say they having bedding jobs. [/QUOTE]
