    Gunsmithing Torque for piller bedded action

    being from a world of glued in actions (benchrest), I have never been concerned with torquing action screws. I have recently read that even with piller bedded actions it is recommended to torque them to 65 lbs. I have torqued my rings and bases for years and thoroughly understand the value...
