I finally found a torque wrench in inch pounds at Home Depot. I'm considering going through all of my rifles and rechecking the torque on the action screws. What do you recommend? Does each manufacturer recommend a different setting? Need some imput.
Remington recommends 40 in/lbs front and rear, whether wood or plastic. Winchester recommends "minimum 25 in/lbs" front and rear with the middle screw just tight enough to stay in. Same whether wood or plastic. People who pillar bed use 65 in/lbs. I think 50 in/lbs is enough.
