Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Ruger M77 action screws - torque settings?

I went 60 inch pounds on the front, and 35 on the rear.

Make sure that the magazine box floats or it will push up on the center of the action.

Remove completely the center screw or only tighten it with your fingernail.

All the stocks will benefit from bedding the recoil lug. if only one corner is touching the recoil lug or the action is not sitting down on the bedding block, you are screwed on accuracy.

I just got finished tweeking one out.

Also, check the hole that the angled screw goes through, I have had to open up the last two that I worked on.
