so it is the same just alternate up to the specified torque . thanks

that's for the 3 screw stock. thanks though

An Accu-stock should have three screws total, the two action screws and the screw for the wedge that acts against the recoil lug.

That used to be the case, but no longer.
After some number (I don't know exactly how many) of years, Savage did away with the wedge and third screw of the accustock.
Current Accustocks only have 2 screws holding the action to the stock and no wedge or wedge screw.

What I have heard (anecdotal evidence, not proven fact) is that some/(many?) folks removed the wedge and ended up with better consistency...and this is why Savage made the change.

The wedge was a bad joke. Way to finiky on how it was tightened.

So are the torque specs from the linked article above still good? Or are accustocks now to be treated similar to other synthetic "bedded" stocks??

I ask because the final numbers seem a little low (by about 10-15 in/lb) compared to what i've always understood to use with McMillan, B&C, etc..

further info is always instructional :)
