I just got a new savage 10 T-SR ackustock cleaned her up and adjusted the trigger to 2.5 #s now any idea what to torque the stock down to? I am thinking 35 Inch #s
Any input appreciated
i happened to see these posts regarding the same topic 2 other websites, hope it's ok to post the links.....it sounds like they're advocating 40 in-lbs:
Hey everyone, new to the forum, pretty new to shooting and new rifle. I just purchased a model 10t-sr from cabelas chambered in .308, before taking it out I wanted to go over all the screws with my fat boy. I cant seem to find anything from savage in the manual and using the search here its...

Saw this on the Savage website: What is the torque spec for my action screws?

Accustock models - 40 inch pounds (including wedge screw)
Centerfire w/ synthetic stock - 30-35 inch pounds
Centerfire w/ wood stock - 30-35 inch pounds
Centerfire w/ laminate stock - 30-35 inch pounds
Rimfire w/ any stock - 15 inch pounds
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"?
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.
