i have a 455 and a 457. thinking about working with inch pound action screw torque settings,which i have never done before. just wondering if anyone has any ideas or experience with this and could suggest a starting point. or,does it matter much in a quality 22? may ask same re my howa 1500 HB on the bolt forum. tx for input or ideas or hands on experience.
cz action screw torque settings
- Thread starter mosin46
- Start date
Have you checked your owner's manual?
All of my five or so RF bolt rifles - including my 455 -have recommended AS torque between 36-42IP.
Some guys experiment with the settings, but in general 36 has worked for me. YMMV.

tx. didn't see in 457 (new) manual. will lok againe. no manual for 455 (used). but,tx for reply. gives me someplace to start.
Wood stocks or fiberglass, chassis? If wood stock anything over 30 inch pounds will start to crush the wood.
CZ455...barrel screws 30 to 34 inch-lbs,
any more has shown to squeeze the chamber out of round,
slug testing by gunsmiths provided the information.
Something about lubricant and threads lowering torque needed.
Stock to receiver screws not to exceed 24 inch-lbs.
Mag well screws tighten to contact then 1/8th turn more.

i refer to action to stock or "guard" screws. barrel screws? means torque if changing out/installing a barrel?
I pull my barrels for cleaning.
Allows complete access to all areas of the action.
Have to torque the barrel (grub) screws every time I reassemble.
I have a 17hmr, a 22wmr and three 22lr barrels for 2 receivers.
Barrels are swapped to fit my needs.
Hunting, varminting, paper punching or ammo testing.
