Ruger RSM action screw torque?
Anybody have the torque numbers for the three action screws on the Ruger Magnum in .458Lott and in what order they should be tightened?

Oh, and how about the forearm screw going into the bottom rib of the barrel? Anybody?

Ninety five inch pounds for the slanted, action, recoil lug screw.The others should be tightened with a screw driver as tight as you could by hand.Go to youtube and search for Ruger M77 reassembly.

I found only information on the Hawkeye and none on the M77 RSM. Searched all possibilities on YouTube without luck.

Well, my RSM is a helluva lot more gun than a Hawkeye and in a larger caliber than anything comparable in the Hawkeye. So I don't see a corollary. But thanks for trying to help.

Anybody else???

The Ruger M77 Hwkeye is available in 375 and 416 Ruger.It's the same action as the RSM magnum.Why would you need a different torque?
