Remington 700 wood stock torque

remington Action Screw torque? - Long Range Hunting Online Magazine

I just mounted my. If you have an aftermarket steel bottom metal unit for a Remington , the torque can be increased to something like 60 lbs. You don't want to use 60 lbs on the aluminum bottom metal, as it will gall the aluminum.

Also, as you set the torque, I believe you should have the rifle vertical at the "loose screw position", so as you tighten the screws bolts , the action's recoil lug is set against the stock area for firm recoil control. That's how I remember it, but my memory is like a steel trap.

Remington guy says 35 inch lbs for a factory stock I have a Remington PSS in Remington and it is one of THE most accurate factory Rifles I have ever owned and I have owned a LOT of them! It came out of the factory carton shooting amazingly well back in Some time after I settled on a handload for it I decided to take the Rifle apart for the first time and clean and inspect it.

I carefully reset the torque when I reassembled the Rifle after cleaning and it has remained at this relatively light setting ever since. It never changes P.
