Saw this on the Savage website:

Tighten until your hear the crack, then back off a quarter turn. 
Thanks men. The accustock has a metal frame may be hard to crack but I'll give it a try.
Well I guess my 65 inch pounds was overkill for an HSprecision stock
I thought it was tighten until you feel it start to strip then back off a quarter turn? Or do you go with the tried and true "I don't need thread locker if I cross thread it"?Tighten until your hear the crack, then back off a quarter turn.
An HS Precision stock is not an Accustock.
I know that, but maybe 65in/lb was to much
65 in.lb. Is fairly normal for R700 style actions, at least for the front screw. My .338 LM 110 is torqued to 65 for the front action screw in its HP Precision stock.
The important part is, does your rifle shoot well?

That’s what I’m running both my bighorn actions at and they seem to like it. The savage did good, but there might of been room for improvement but i wasn’t changing the razors edge.
