I finally found a good, used torque screwdriver a shooting buddy owned and was willing to sell at a reasonable price and so, I bought it.

I realize each rifle is an "individual", but I'd like to get a general idea of the amount of torque to put on the 2 pillar-bedded action screws from those fellas with experience in this area of knowledge.

I've got a Vermint model CZ453 (with a factory heavy-barrel and single-set trigger) on which I had my gunsmith pillar-bed the two action screws, the ones just in front of and just behind the trigger guard. I also had my gunsmith glas-bed the receiver and re-float the heavy 20-inch barrel.

The rifle shoots pretty darned good with Wolf Match/Target ammo, but now, I'm ready for the final "tune-up"... i.e., finding "THE" perfect pound/inches to put on the 2 action screws.

Please tell me what your experiences have been on this area of expertise since I have no idea what to begin to try.

Thanks, guys... wink
