Default RE: Remington 700 action screw question
ORIGINAL: VAhuntr

Is there a sequence for tightening the action screws when reinstalling the 700 action? Rifles in questionare long action BDL's, oneis a laminate stock and the other is a walnut CDL stock.

Also, should the action screws be torqued?
Tighten thescrew that goes into the receiver ring first, as tight as you can get it without stripping. Then the middle screw, then the tang screw. The center screw needs to be snug, but not gorilla-tight. LIkewise for the tang screw.
