I don't either. A properly glass bedded rifle doesn't need to be torqued down to an exacting figure. Scope bases and rings are fine just being tightened by feel, if you don't torque them down too hard. Maybe some guys need to use a torque wrench to keep from breaking stuff?? To MR. Chongo, if your action screws are backing out, I'd be properly glass bedding your rifle, as a rifle rocking back and forth in the stock, as we shoot it, can cause the action screws to back out. This is an indication the receiver is not sitting perfectly in the stock or the receiver is actually stressed/torqued, as the action screws are tightened. Another reason we glass bed our rifles..
