Recently I replaced my Remington 700ML with a new thumbhole T/C Omega.
I scoped it with Trijicon 3-9x40 amber triangle scope and tested it with several loads. So far 125 grains of loose 777 and 250 grains shockwave is a winning combination.
After the shooting I removed the barreled action from the stock and thoroughly cleaned the firearm. But now I hear that the removing and reattaching the stock could cause the change of POI. I called T/C and asked about torque set at my wrench for tightening two stock screws. and heard the first news-customers are not allowed to talk to gunsmith at T/C any longer. So the first answer from the “call girl” was to ”just hand tight it”. It was not good enough for me and I had to wait 10 minutes, while the “call girl “ was looking for the gunsmith, explaining my request to him and getting back to the her cubical. The final answer was “hand tight “ should be good, but it could be also 5 in/lb too.
Now there is my dilemma:
-should I stop cleaning the action after every shooting session and disassemble the rifle at the end of the season and clean everything or still continue disassemble the rifle after each shooting session and use adjustable torque wrench set on 5 in/lb for tightening stock screws
I want to trust my rifle 100% and rather would not play with stock screws every time I shoot, but I do not want to have any corrosion issues in the action.
What is your take on it?
