Make sure you use a torque wrench when you install your action screws, I believe the correct torque is 65 inch*pounds. </div></div>
Think you can only torque to 50 with stock bottom metal, because the tapered head screws will crack the bottom metal at 65.

I torque all of my remingtons at 65in-lbs and have never broken or cracked the stock bottom metal. This is on different rifles using a Bell and Carlson light tactical stock, an H-S precision M24A3 stock, and also a McMillan A-5 stock. I am not disputing the fact that some people have broken their bottom metal but in my experience you should be fine at the 65in-lbs setting. Just make sure that your torque wrench is actually properly calibrated before you use it.
