Oh.... I might have plenty of knowledge about "torque settings" in all sorts of applications. The point is that a correctly done, stress free pillar bedding job won't respond with accuracy and/ p.o.i. changes with changing the torque settings on the action screws. Again, if it does, the bedding isn't right. Period.

How torquing the screws on non pillar bedded rifles rose to the top of the thread you started specifically about pillars...who knows?

In my time not playing with rifles, I work at a private drag race engine dyno testing facility. We might torque fasteners.

Here's an interesting one I just finished. For some reason, imgur doesn't like these pics so I'll drop a link to it. I know there's no "torque" settings to be found but hopefully it's of at least casual interest.

All the best with your current and future bedding projects. "Torque" on, brother. smile -Al
