Does anybody know what the torque specs are for the stock to action screws? I keep finding stuff but it varies quite a bit and are older posts. This is for an AAC-SD model.

I would run 45 in/bs up front and 50 on the rear. I know some would say 50 and 55, but I never had to (shooting a .308). May need to re-zero after torquing them back, just ensure you keep the same spec each time if you can.

I went to a range where the RO would ask if he could torque your scres, said they always come loose. I declined. I thought Remingtons spec was 35 in lbs.

I heard at the fun shop (take that for what it's worth). 35 in lb up front and 40 in lb in back. But it was for a wood stock

I torque mine to 65 in-lbs also on my 700P with the standard HS stock. I'm pretty sure I dug this out of Remington manual somewhere.
Discussion on Snipers Hide seems to explain it more.
This is from Remingtons website- synthetic & wood stocks should be hand tight which is 30-35 inch pounds. Sendero & police stocks are tightened to 45 inch pounds from the factory.

You can actually tune the gun with different screw torque.
Just find what your gun likes.

+1. This is also the specs for the M24 SWS. There is a t-handle torque wrench provided with the SWS specifically for this application. I use the same for my SPS.
