Hey guys,

I have a McMillian Hunters Edge on order. It has aluminum pillers. I am wondering what the recommended torque spec for their stocks are? remington 700

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I sent a p.m. to Ryan from McMillan & copied you on it for an answer. His username is: ShootToWin. He is the go to man for all stock related issues.

He told me 40-45 in/lbs. Couldn't remember the sequence but I think it was to tighten the front to 35, then the rear, then front to 45, then the rear. He will answer in a day or two.

At first I thought that was excessive until Wby told me their torque rate is 55 in/lbs. on my Ultralight. Wow, that's a lot.

No need to torque over 37" pounds anytning over that and you can fracture some factory bottom metal!

Torque specs on a Rem 700 H&S stock have been 65in/lb for 25 years, never heard of "cracked" bottom metal.
