Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Rimfires Tikka T1x .22lr action screw torque

Can someone tell me what the recommended inch lbs for the actions screws are for tikka t1x. They're are 3 screws. What is best method for placing action into stock. Thanks

My T1X only has two action screws, I am not sure what you are seeing as a third screw unless it is the screw in the fore-end, if so that is not an action screw it is just a screw to hold the barrel channel filler piece.
I seem to recall the owners manual llisting a torque setting, but I never torque mine - just good and snug seems to work just fine.

These would have been my comments almost exactly but drover beat me too it, so I'll just say 'ditto'. As far as fitting the action into the stock, just make sure the recoil lug in the stock is carefully lined up with the slot cut into the bottom of the action. It's possible to not get the lug mated properly into the action cut and still get the front action screw started. Easy does it - don't bull and jam it together.

Thanks, trigger was lightened and wanted to make sure to get it back together properly. It was shooting decent at 50 yards.....ten shots touching with CCI mini mag.

I never worry about torqing the action screws on any of my rifles. I tighten them to where the rifle is grouping well and then add a couple of dabs of nail polish - after installing the action simply line up the slot up to the dots, or if using Hex heads then a dot on the screw and one on the escutcheon.

Yellow is optional -
