Savage model 12 LRP right bolt left port. HS precision stock.
What kind of torque and what sequence of the three action screws.
TIA

I missed that article. Thanks, Richard.

Great article. I would assume the logic would work for any action. I am going to reset the torque on my Remington 700 next time I am at the range.

Thanks for sharing this.

It doesn't have much to do with center fire rifles but I had an Anschutz that would Change groups by adjusting the torque on the action. You would tune it with the torque. It is very interesting the way that works.
