Alex, torque values for $100, please..

Comparing a Savage action to say a BAT, is like comparing a Maserati to a Dodge Neon, both will get the job done but the quality and workmanship can't be used in the same book let alone the same sentence.
I was looking for an answer to how the threads looked between the two.
Not for what my question may have looked to you with an auto comparison.
I’ll inquire about whatever I feel like and don’t want stupid answers
You either know or you don’t
 
I have had a barrel come loose when I did it by feel. So I started doing all my own stuff to 70 ft lbs.

At work, I follow BAT Machine recommendations of 75 ft lbs for competition rifles and 125 ft lbs for all others. With grease.

I wasn't looking for an argument, what I said has meaning, there is a huge difference in quality between custom action makers and Savage, only reason I'm mentioning Savage is that's who you referenced. Instead of thinking my response was "stupid" maybe you should take the time yourself and compare the two.

Savage builds a quality product, it just isn't in the same league as the top action builders, that's all.

That’s what I was trying to do.
Wanted to know if anyone could look at the threads or if they even had looked to give me a comparison
If I had both I would have know and certainly would have no need to ask.
Maybe YOU should have realized that
And you sure were looking to light me off

"Savage builds a quality product, it just isn't in the same league as the top action builders, ..."
That's correct, the Savage Team wins because....?

Actually I just don't care. Too much aggravation over a simple request.

7 year old craftsman and a craftsman my father bought new. He died in 1962 so it was bought before that. The 60+ year old one is easier and faster to use.

What type of torque wrench are you guys using?
I still have a beam Sturtevant from the 60’s, and maybe 12 others acquired over the years including a couple made by Boeing ( long past their recalibration date) and a really wild Snap-On with light and buzzers.
All that’s needed is decent one.
Mine where required by the company and way over the top for this application. But I’m also a sucker for nice tools.

I am just wondering how to fit a torque wrench on to my action wrench. Is there an adapter?
