[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1843777, member: 2736"] I would not torque the screws at all, In fact, I made some guide screws to align the action that don't have any heads but are long enough to reach through enough to grab them with pliers to remove them before the bedding sets up rock hard. To hold the action in the bedding I use spring clamps that don't apply to much force that could apply stress to the action during bedding. (This is called stress free bedding) and in my opinion the best way to bed an action for accuracy. If you use the action screws or bedding screws it will/can add unwanted stress and actually flex the action a few thousandths. This will cause the action to flex/match the misshaped bedding when torqued. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
