Hi there guys,
Just want to get the numbers for for tightening the action screws on my hawkeye.
Just fitted a new Hogue overmoulded with the full length bedding block but wish to know what inch/lbs to tighten the angled screw and rear screw??
I recall 60 for the rear and 40 for the angled?? Does this sound right?
Any other tips?
Cheers
Gus
would apreciate a field report after you shoot it. i'm thinking about picking up one myself. would like to hear before and after results, comfort in shooting and anything else you think about it.
Jim,
I tried the full length bedding block Hogue stock today on my Ruger hawkeye - and the rifle shot very well . Using factory Federal Premium Vital Shok loads (270 Win) with the 130 Grain Ballistic tips - I got one group well under half an inch and a few others around 0.75 inch - which is spot on - and heck, I aint the best shooter off the bench!!!
So I can recommend the Hogue stock with the full bedding block very highly.
Gus
