[QUOTE="Mike 338, post: 1536822, member: 41338"] I've been fiddling around with the torque on a Savage Accu-stock. They recommend 40-45 inch pounds. I get very bad vertical stringing with that though. Went out yesterday and did my own testing. Started at 45-45 (first number is front screw and second is rear). I picked this starting point because, evenly tightened, this is where any decent degree of uniformity began, although there was still frequent vertical stringing. Tightening the front screw 5 i.p. at a time and firing 3 shot groups, 60 i.p. is where things settled down. Did the same for the rear screw, leaving the front on 60 i.p. I had varying degrees of accuracy between 50 i.p. and 65 i.p. Will go back and re-test rear screw with 5 shot groups in 5 i.p. increments, between 50 and 65. I can tell that this gun won't shoot consistently unless the action torque is higher than factory recommended spec. [/QUOTE]
