Gunsmithing Newbie question regarding disassembly on rem700

[toddxtyboy]

Hello,
I have a question regarding removing the action from stock. I recently picked up a rem 700 thats been bedded in a mcmillan a5, and i'd like to do this installation

http://www.snipershide.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=2151197&page=1

To start, i assume i just remove the screws at the bottom of the trigger guard, remove barreled receiver and then follow the instructions in the thread. correct?

When i reassemble, whats the proper torque for the screws? will i have any issues with the bedding, or is removing and reinstalling a receiver common practice? change in zero?

Thank you for your help and patience guys. Obviously i'm a newbie and i don't have much experience with bolt action rifles.

Just remove the guard screws and take out the action and bottom metal. When youre done torque down the guard screws to 65 in/lbs and youre good. Of course you should always re confirm zero anytime you do any work on your rifle.
