What bottom metal are you changing to and what stock do you have? Pillars?

Re: Torque on bottom metal
100 Ft. lb.
I'm obviously joking...
but seriously, What bottom metal? what stock? pillars installed?
that's like asking how long is a piece of string..

Re: Torque on bottom metal
50 - 65 in lb will be plenty.
The number itself is not the important part and only gives you a ref to stay consistant when removing and replacing the action to avoid POI shift.
Pick a number and keep them equal and you will be fine.

For most applications, this one included, I agree. I would like to point out that there are a bunch of us old schoolers still around that can tell you about the effects of changing torque on group size. This was most prevalent on wood-stocked rifles pre-pillars, but still had followers into synthetics/pillars. I, personally, do't think there's enough difference for any of us average Joes, but those Palma guys used to even run different torques on the screws. The smallbore guys would group-shoot different torques when they changed ammo lots.
It all makes my head hurt. I use the KISS method, torque mine to 60 in-lbs (skim-bedded bedding block) and enjoy results from the rifle that are better than my abilities and patience.
