Where will I find a Torque Screwdriver to use when taking the stock off and on. I am not sure about what pound to get. What is a typical torque spec say for an omega and a Rem 700?

You want an inch pound 1/4" drive torque wrench. Most automotive stores (NAPA) will carry these. Also listed in Brownell's. Expect to pay about $200 for one worth having. Snap-On is excellent.

About the most torque you are going to need for stock screws is 65 inch pounds - recommended for the H-S Precision rifle stocks with the aluminum bedding block. Normal wood and synthetic stocks will run in the 30 to 45 inch pound range. With a muzzleloader, this is an especially nice little tool to have around when youneed to remove the stock to do a thorough cleaning job. Can remove and re-install the stock without loss of zero (at least in theory).

If your are going to get one you will need to get an "inch pound" torgue screwdriver.

I got to tell you I really do not see the need in one... If you are shooting paper (targets) for money that might be a different story. Even then every time they take the action out of the gun they re-check the POI. I have taken both my Remingtons and Omega's apart many many times. I just try to tighten the recoil lugs screws to about the same torgue each time. You just learn the feel. If your guns are reciever bedded it becomes less of a factor.

Just my two cents....

I also check mine with a 1/4 inch torque wrench, I go to 28 inch pounds on synthetic stocks and 35 on the wood. Lee
