Hi,
I bought a torque wrench to be able to tighten the screws on my rifle properly.
I am sure this has been covered in various topics but couldn't find every single part and there seems to be a lot of disagreement on the exact settings for different rifle and scope parts. Also I don't know if there is a difference between the settings for a Remington 700 and a Mosin Nagant.
I have a mosin nagant with a reproduction PU scope and mount.
I also have a Remington 700 SPS varmint on which I intend to mount an old Redfield scope, 4-screw rings from the same period and a Jr base, I also have a walnut stock that will be pillar bedded.
So for both the Remington 700 and the Mosin Nagant: what torque settings do I need to tighten all the screws to? Action, base, rings, windage screws?
Here are some pictures of the the rifle and scope (no pictures of the Remington yet).
