Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Gunsmithing rem 700 barrel torque specs

I would sure like to know how tight Weatherby is putting the barrels on the Vangards. I bet they are on there in the neighborhood of 300 pounds. It's not uncommon to have to give them 4 or 5 good whacks with an 8 pound hammer to knock them loose. They do come off nice and clean. Looks to be just a light oil in there. Remingtons are full of some sort of thread locker. We use Never Sieze on everthing to put them back together. 100 foot pounds is our target weight.
