This question is for guys who have a CDI bottom metal installed. I think the front bolt is at 15 and the rear is at 45 or 50 inch pounds after CDI did the work. Did those of you who have had the CDI bottom metal installed leave that much torque on the bolts?

Should I back the bolts down to the Savage factory torque settings?

Rifle in question Savage 12 VLP DBM in .204.

Might want to fire an email @ CDI to get their recommended torque numbers.

Per Jeff @ CDI they should be 65 inch pounds. I'll give it a shot. Seems pretty high to me.

I have a wood stock so I sent them to 50 inch pounds. Might back them down when I see how it shoots.

Thery normally send instructions with the bottom metal, if they do the inletting for you.
