I have a 7.62 / 308 RPA Quadlock in a wooden stock for TR. Can anyone give me a guide as to the torque settings for the bedding bolts please?
I've used the 'two fingers downward pressure on a 4" allen wrench' method but wondered what the in/lb is.
Thanks

John,
I have the same set up, don't know what it is in in/lbs but I have both of mine set at 4.5 Newton metres and it works a treat.

I set up my Musgrave as 20in/lbs on both screws initially and then torque them up to 40in/lbs. I daresay I could knock 5-10in/lbs off that without compromising accuracy.

Tighten screws until they strip then back-off half a turn.
