[QUOTE="antelopedundee, post: 2125020, member: 107384"] Don't know where you got yours, but you can buy either SS hex head or torx [#27 required fit] from Red Hawk Rifles for $12 a set, tho the $8 shipping plus sales tax [if any] adds to the cost unless you're buying other items too. I bought a few sets just because I like the torx since you can torque them better without worrying about buggering up your screw head. They are purposely made longer and meant to be trimmed down. Nowdays the hex head require a smaller size Allen wrench than they used to. I have a relatively new Remington 700 action set into an older H-S Precision stock and with the factory issue trigger guard it went together with no issue front or rear using the torx screws. [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/lpUq0P3.jpg[/IMG] It depends upon the countersunk depth of the guard screw holes [I was also using a stainless PTG unit] as well as the angle of bevel of the screw heads. On a couple of other rifles my luck with the torx screws wasn't so good so I went back to the hex head. They can also be long enough in the back to require trimming so the cocking cam on the bolt will clear. [/QUOTE]
