Quote::

For the Model 700 VS and Sendero, the maximum torque settings should be no more than 45 in/lbs for each screw. On the Model 700 BDL and ADL synthetic and wood stocks, the guard screws should be tightened to a hand tight fit or no more than 35" lbs.

Thats right off Remingtons site

Thanx Dimitri

Ya know, i never thought of torque specs nor used a torque wrench or screwdriver while smithing....nor do i know anybody that does .

10Ring,

If you hand tighten it according to one of my teachers on avarage you'll apply 25-35ft-lbs of force.

Dimitri

I use the German method goodantight
Joe

Dimitri,

I use Joe's method too with T-Handles though and never had a problem in a few decades i've been doing this .

Might your teacher be a vegitarian?

Now...What's wrong with a calibrated elbow...Mine clicks at 50 ft/lbs...

lol Bushmaster,

I think my teacher was trying to call us weak or something.

I myself tighten something up till just before its too tight and it stripes the screws.

Dimitri

I use Joe's method as well and have never had anything come loose or anything I couldn't loosen.

Fellas it is not a matter of coming loose..it is a matter of not torquing the action and a great way to get accuracy. Case(s) in point.

2 different 300 RUMS in SAKO 75 stainless fiberglass guns. Both identical. One liked 55"/lbs and shot 180 Partitions golds at 3300 + fps and put them in .946" at 300 yds.
The other put 3 200 gr accubonds at .675" at 300 yards at 3150 fps but only at 30 "/lbs.

Neither gun would replicate these groups with these reloads at 300 except on that, and only that setting. Go figure! And both SAKO's , like all SAKOs were free floated from the factory so it was NOT a matter of up pressure on the barrel from the front nub of the pressure pad of the forearm!!!

See what I mean?

Well POP you know alot more then I do!

Tell me is is the same reason the Lee-Enfeild Mk1 No4 were good at extended ranges because of the barrel "vibration" ?? Execpt this is more of a whole action vibration ??

Dim:

It can be a lot of different things. Each rifle is its own entity.

This is the 3 shot group at 300 yards. 200 gr Accubonds at 3150 fps from my SAKO 300 RUM SS.
.675" center to center.

Neat I should try my dads M700 in 300RUM sometime

Hows the recoil ??
