Hello
I was curious as to the starting point if you will, on the torque one would set the front and back action screws ?
I only have one accustock, and I currently have the front at 14 in lbs and the back at 10 in lbs.
The above numbers are what I have most of my non accu stocks set at.
Gun shoots decent, just curious
Thanks in advance
You will get all kinds of different views on this. I’m guessing you have a wood stock? Well, if it were me, I’d do Front 35in.lbs., Rear 30in.lbs. If you are one who like to play with Action screw torque, set the front at 30-35in.lbs. and start the rear at 10in.lbs. Then shoot it and keep tightening the rear until you find the best torque/accuracy ratio. I don’t play with screw torque plus, I use an Aluminum Chassis. So my front/rear are 65/60.
EDIT: didn’t notice it was Accustock at first. Correct answer in Response #4
Thank you
Interesting numbers,
Higher than I expected, but that's why I asked.
Yes, most of my 110s are wood, I do have 2 non accustock synthetic B&C in my 110s that I use the 14 front and 10 rear.
I have a 270 with a laminate factory that i could never get more than 2" groups with.
Had it for 30 years, shot antelope and Mule Deer with it, tried many many powders, bullets ect ect. I guess I'm going to torque the front/rear down as you suggested and see what happens.
Thank you
Anyone else ?
Im sorry, didn’t notice it was an Accustock at first. Try this. https://www.savageshooters.com/conte...-The-AccuStock
If your .270 is anything like my M70 Super Grade, it has a pencil barrel suited for carrying when hunting so it is very susceptible to barrel heating.
My first two shots from a cold barrel are touching at 100 yards, but every shot thereafter is out 1/4 inch further at 2 o'clock.
Shooting groups to measure is not in the cards unless I want to wait for 20 minutes or more to let the barrel cool between each successive shot, and I admit I am too impatient to do that.
I just accept that I will never get to shoot more than two shots at anything when hunting anyway, so I am happy that it hits where I aim with the first two shots out of a cold barrel.
The Accu-Stock recommendation is a good one.
Works for me.
The cheaper Savage plastic stocks without the aluminum stiffening are much more sensitive to torque settings.
I have documented the difference in accuracy with a non-stiffened stock at 35 in.-lbs. and 45 in.-lbs.
One of my .308s prefers 35 in.-lbs. and shoots about 26% more accurately at the lighter torque setting.
Yes, thank you CFJunkie. That’s what I was thinking before. Plain, Polymer/wood stocks are the 30-35. Accustock, follow the link from the home page & won’t go wrong. Full Chassis…. 50-65in.lbs.
If you torque the polymer stocks without installing pillars, it is often useless as the plastic flows and the torque changes..
