Savage Mark II torque specs

[starscream]

Do any of you guys know the torque specs for a savage mark II. I have a fvxp that i just purchased a boyds tactical stock for, and want to know the best recommended in/lbs settings. Or what in/lbs you guys have found to be best.
Thanks in advance

I believe I read that one guy was using 16 in-lbs front and rear... Also, it may depend on the rifle so maybe try different settings until you find one that seems to give you the most consistency... Take that with a grain of salt because I do not use a torque wrench on my Savage...

Factory is 15 in/lbs

But... that bottom metal is really flimsy. Upgrade to a thicker bottom piece (several folks make 'em out of 1/8" sheet) and you can really crank it down if needed. Some shooters have reported best groups with as little as 8 in/lbs and as much as 25 in/lbs

im getting the 1/8 bottom medal from a member on her and my torque wrenches lowest setting is 20in/lbs so will that be safe then

With the thicker bottom metal it'll be fine.

A friend of mine and I spent some time trying to dial in his TR yesterday. We wound up with 15 in-lbs on the front screw and 20 on the back. You really just have to fiddle around with them. I should also mentioned that his action has been bedded.

is it worth it to bed the stock, and what is the easiest and most efficient way to bed the stock.
