Does anyone have an ideah on what the correct torque is for a rem 700 varmit barrel action bolts? I picked up one of the Bobby Hart accublock stocks and I am going to mount my .300 wsm to it. The action and barrel fit up in their perfectly, I couldn't ask for a better fit, and I didn't have to do anything to it.... now if I could just figure out how to put a picture on here.
 
Thanks guys, Dave

That is a full-length bedding block, right?

65 lbs. is the norm for Remy-to-block clamping.

I go with 65 (and that's in-lbs!) with my H-S Precision stocks, but your stock may not work well with that. There are a couple shooters I know with H-S stocks who go to 55 in-lbs. They've never had any problems. The important thing is getting back to the same setting whenever you pull the action out of the stock.
Reaction time is a factor...

It is funny that you usually won't get a solid answer from Remington on this question. They will tell you 45 to 65 inch/pounds.

My advice is to listen to Remington. Whacko
