    Torque setting for holding the action in the stock?

    I’ve got a S400 MPR in a GRS stock. I’ve just purchased a torque screwdriver for more precise mounting of the scope and action to the stock.
    I know from previous stocks that accuracy can vary dramatically depending on how tightly the action is held in the stock.
    Just wondering how many others use a torque wrench to do it consistently every time and to what settings?

    Depends entirely on the materials and bolts.

    But at least if you pick a torque you'll know it's consistent.

    If you are seeing shifts though with different torques then it suggests the stock doesn't fit as well as it could. I used to torque, but don't bother now because the stocks have been made to fit.
