Epoxy Bedding

[missed]

I like how the action screws are loose right up until they get tight, and then they're immediately rock-solid tight now.

Question: Are people using a torque wrench on bedded rifles to tighten the action screws in a consistent, repeatable way?

I still torque mine so they are even and have enough torque that they won't loosen.

Thanks, Missed. Also (I forgot to ask) are you or others using blue Loctite on the action screws, as well as torquing them? Seems like I go crazy chasing the action screws on my hunting rifles (though I've never used Loctite yet)...

I do not. Only on scope base screws. Loctite can be a pain. Proper torque and checking screws during cleaning I have never had a surprise loose screw.

Terminal ballistics Research has a very nice vidio,By/with Nathan Foster. It's on a Rem action but still shows alot of finer points.
