I was on the verge of selling my Savage 16 because of bedding inaccuracy. Tried following instructions without using torque wrench: Didn't work. As last resort I bought one, and re-bedded drawing the first screw to 10 inch lbs., then the second. Kept this rotation up 10 lbs. at a time until reached 40 inch lbs. Shot twenry rounds and repeated the process. Five shot groups went from 2+ inches to slightly less than 1".
