How tight is everyone making their action screws after installing Boyd's stock? Mine keep coming loose. Mine needed retightening after firing 2 shots on a hunt. Cold weather may be making it worse. They seem to get looser hunting than firing more shots at a range session. But they always loosen some. I don't have a torque wrench. Have just been making them pretty snug with hand driver. Worked well on the factory stock. Funny we never get loose screws on our m77 Rugers??

I found 25 in-lbs to be just about right for tuning my Tacticool with pillars.

If the Stock is not bedded or does not have pillars use 30 inch pounds on the Front screw and 25 on the Rear. if the stock has had Pillars installed then the normal is 60 inch pounds both. If the stock is just Wood then when you are not using it loosen the screws, but remember to tighten them before use.
