Just got a Model 12 FCV, my first Savage. Took the stock off, then put it back on to clean it up. The rear and front action screws are set up as Allens. I overturned one and stripped the front action screw. Does anyone make a replacement for these screws? Are they available in torx? What's the proper poundage for putting the screws back in when putting the stock back on?
Thanks!

You can order them from savage parts finder on their site. If you stripped that bolt head , you are way over tightening the screw to begin with. There are torque values and if it is plastic(the stock) then 35 inch pounds and if it is an hs precision 60 inch pounds but the rear screw usually ends up if you tune the bedding screws it will be around 30 inch pounds if the bedding is good.
Nice, thanks fellas!
