Hi all.
Is there a recommend f/lbs torc setting for the remmy action in a AICS stock.i am getting positional zero shifting and hoped the right torc setting will sort this. Berger

Walk them in to 6Nm starting at the front. You can tweak them a bit more however I would stay within 0.25Nm.

Thank you

In theory at least the bottom of your Remington receiver is the same profile as the inlet of the AICS chassis so you would expect a fixed torque to be all that is needed. By walk in I mean tighten both action screws a bit at a time and finish at 6Nm with the front one first

Berger - Tighten the front screw with the rifle vertical - but leave the back screw out.

See if the action-tang is touching the stock - slip a feeler gauge under it or even paper.

If it's not touching - you will be bending the action when you tighten the back screw. Hence the zero shift.

It's not unusual to have to bed under the rear tang when dropping a Remmy into an AI chassis.

Should I put a slim washer over the action screw at the rear end then tighten so the rear of the action doesn't touch......?

Not if you want an accurate rifle. I usually bed the rear tang on Devcon.

Thanks V.
I have texted Mr Mckillop to book me in for a pillar or 2 after the 16th of April.i will try tightening the action screw on the front and see if I can slide a piece of paper under the rear of the action.
