[QUOTE="Sniper03, post: 1755862, member: 25514"] GLOVER To share with you, the Stock Screws should be Torqued to 60 *Inch Lbs. In the following sequence. The Front Screw should be Torqued First. (In front of the Trigger Guard.) Then the Rear Screw Torqued to 60 *Inch Lbs. Obviously the guy claiming to be a gunsmith does not know everything about the Remington 700. I would not think of working on one with out the proper torque wrench. This alone can disrupt the accuracy of the rifle. (But if your stock is [U]Glass Bedded[/U] one should not torque it over 37 Inch Lbs. To do so will possibly damage the bedding causing accuracy issues.) I use a [U][B]Wheeler Fat Wrench[/B][/U] (Torque Wrench) for all Scope Bases, Scope Cap Screws or Optics Cross Bolts that require a torque setting. I highly recommend it! Keeps proper recommended [B]Inch Pound[/B] torque settings for other applications as well. 03 [/QUOTE]
