[QUOTE="Susquatch, post: 1971431, member: 31264"] To make this measurement meaningful, you will also have to make sure that the force is being applied at 90 degrees to the moment and you will need to measure the length of the bolt handle from the bolt centerline to the measurement point. If you can figure out how to do it, a torque wrench will provide a better measurement. I'd probably try to put a torque wrench on the front of the action in place of the barrel. In fact, your scale (perhaps a fishing scale?) might work better if used this way too. The reaction torque will be the same as the opening torque except in the opposite direction. [/QUOTE]
