Apologies if this has already been covered, I couldn’t find it. Anyone know the correct action screw torque settings for a
Remington Model 7 fitted with a CF stock. (In this instance, a Stug stock).

35 inch pounds for both, or 40 on the front and 35 rear will be a great start
Recheck them after firing for the first few outings as whatever bedding may settle
On the Model Seven I tighten the rear screw just a bit more than snug as it's a piddly little 8-36 size screw and especially the stainless ones are super easy to strip the heads on ...
Even though its obvious, it’s still worth pointing out, mine is stainless and a stripped head or thread would easily spoil an evening.Quote:

im always 40-60
You'll be fine with that - I've been running my wife's Model 7 at 35/20 for the last 33 years!!!!Quote:
