[QUOTE="wwbrown, post: 3079404, member: 31392"] I usually just get it tight enough, feeling it by hand, I have found that the difference in POI at 1,000 yards was less than 1 MOA between taking a barrel off and re-installing it. If you want to get a measurable torque and your wrench has no means of using a torque wrench you can get the action tight and rotate it in the barrel vise until the action wrench is level (parallel to the ground) and hang the appropriate weight on the end of the action wrench. The torque applied in the action-barrel interface will be the weight you applied times the distance between the bore and where the weight is hanging, this is assuming the cation is level if not the math gets a little complex. Example: say you want a torque of 75 foot-pounds you could hang 37.5 pounds a disatance of 2 feet away from the bore. The weight is easily managed with water and a 5 gallon pail. Kind of an involved method but if you don't do it often it is cheap and it works. [/QUOTE]
