Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Proper torque specs on Rem 700 action does wonders

On my older Rem 700 BDL .270, in original wood stock, I installed pillars & glass-bedded. I changed out slotted action screws for socket-head. I torque screws to 55 in/lbs & the rifle shoots tiny groups. Since then rifle has held zero for 10+ years & my 130 gr & 150 gr groups print vertically about 1" apart at 100yds.
