Default RE: Remington 700 action screw question

What I do is run the screws down barely snug, then tighten the recoil lug screw down tight. I would recommend experimenting with the torque a bit to see how it affects the groups. Since all rifles are different, the amount of torque will be slightly different for optimum groups. The wheeler fat wrench is reasonably priced and will measure exact inch pounds.
