M70 Torque Specs
Posted: Tue Jan 24, 2017 5:04 pmI recently acquired a torque wrench and plan on re-torquing the action screws in my M70. The question is: to what spec?
I've read that 35 in-lbs is a good setting. I don't want to start at some point (20?) and work up until the accuracy peaks and starts to diminish, as this will consume quite a bit of ammo and also result in a sore shoulder.
The rifle in question is an MOA stainless featherweight (walnut, of course) in .270, which comes glass-bedded from the factory.
If you have experience with this particular model and can advise me how to proceed, I would appreciate you response.
Thanks.
