[QUOTE="Frog4aday, post: 1673815, member: 9308"] The 'torque' wrench I've been using on my guns for the last couple of years is the Wheeler Engineering "Fat Wrench": [URL]https://www.brownells.com/gunsmith-tools-supplies/general-gunsmith-tools/wrenches/general-wrenches/fat-wrench-prod56976.aspx[/URL] With adaptors, I can use allen wrench sockets for rifles that use allen-headed screws. [URL]https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0000225P5/?tag=lrhmag19-20[/URL] Action screw torque specs are here: [URL]https://goneoutdoors.com/action-torque-specifications-remington-700-7501697.html[/URL] For [U]wood[/U] stocks: [U]15 in/lbs[/U] This is enough torque to hold the action in place but not so much that the wood is cracked or otherwise damaged over time from too much torque. For [B]synthetic[/B] stocks: [B]45 in/lbs[/B] Forty-five inch per pound is recommended by Remington as the maximum torque for action screws on Model 700 rifles with synthetic stocks. For [I]composite [/I]stocks: [I]65 in/lbs[/I] [/QUOTE]
