Are you asking for bedding screw torques or what?

Optimal bedding screw torques vary according to stock construction. Exact bedding screw torque can not be measured accurately unless you have socket head bedding screws and a inch/pound torque wrench.


Remington rifles with H&S Prescision stocks are torqued to 65 inch/lbs.

For other rifles;

STOCKS (action screws)-
Wood, Laminated, & Aftermarket Synthetic = 45 - 65 in/lbs.
Factory Synthetic = 25 - 26 in/lbs.

SCOPE MOUNTS
Leupold
Bases= 13-15 in/lbs.
Mk IV rings (sides)= 65 in/lbs.

Burris
bases= 12-22 in/lbs.
rings= 24 in/lbs.

Badger Ordnance
bases= 15 in/lbs.
rings (caps)= 12 in/lbs
(sides)= 65 in/lbs

Millet
bases= 10-15 in/lbs.
rings= 10/15 in/lbs.

Ken Farrell
bases (front)= 20-25 in/lbs.
(rear) = 25-30 in/lbs.
rings (sides)= 55-65 in/lbs.
(caps) = 15-20 in/lbs.
