Bedding a Choate Stock???

[blinderthanascope]

I think the front goes to 35 or 40 inch lbs, rear around 17, that's what I do, make sure you bounce the gun on the floor while you tighten just light bounces this will ensure the lug stays against the bedding

Thank you sir...that was my next question!

FWIW, the Savage Predator I have in a XLR chassis is 50in/lb front & Rear. I've never fiddles with different values. My other stocks (Manners/MCM etc) have pillars and bedding, they get torqued to 40in/lbs front & rear.

As far as tools go, I use a Snap-on adjustable in/lb screw driver 5-40in/lbs and a Snap-On 1/4" torque wrench for anything over 40in/lbs. Expensive but the quality and warranty are worth every penny.

I use a snapon dial wrench (0-600 inch pound) and torque evenly, when I have had shifting groups it has nearly always been the rear that shifts, you could see the wider polishing on the tang from either the pillar or v

TM if you don't mind me asking what do you torque too?

Barrel came in last night...recoil lug today or tomorrow...I hope the fluted bolt by friday. So I hope I'm going to be in the gun assembly mode this weekend.
