93R17FNS stock screw torque

[atherisdoode]

Hello,

I am new to this list. I removed the stock from my 93R17FNS to adjust the accutrigger. I was wondering if Savage have published the exact screw torque for the stock screws? I did a search on the forum and saw speculation that it might be 18 for the front screw and 9 for the rear. Any input would be appreciated..

Thanks!

I was just researching the same thing. I found 15 in lbs seems to be a starting point for both screws. Adjust up & down from there to achieve best groups. I found these. Hope this helps.
