Re: New Bell and Carlson stock and accuracy gone to **** now ? snug your action screws to about 5 inlbs, then smack the butt of your stock on the ground to make sure the recoil lug is set back. Tighten in about 10 inlb increments starting with the front action screw until you reach 45-50inlbs.

Yesterday I received a new Bell & Carlson Medalist stock for the T3 and this thing is really nice. It comes with a full length aluminum bedding block with an integral recoil lug so the factory recoil lug is no longer necessary.

This gun is better (by a little) than 1 MOA for 3 shots with ammo it likes on a consistent basis. Sometimes groups were considerably better than 1 MOA but rarely over. Fine shooting rifle. Any bad groups were operator error I'm sure.

Is the forend stiff enough to remain free floating on the barrel if a bipod is used?

You will be fine running a bipod, I have no flex in mine. There is plenty of room to open up for a larger barrel. I have opened mine up since the pic, but even as it was in the pic the stock wouldn't make contact with the barrel when loaded up on the bipod.

OK, initial results are in. I went to the range this morning (15 degrees and almost 2 feet of snow in the last couple days). My first 3 shot group, with a load that I developed for this rifle using the factory stock, measured .467″.

I'll take some pics tonight but I'll probably need help getting the pics posted. FYI, I contacted Bell & Carlson and they said the action screws should be tightened to 50 inch pounds in case anyone was wondering.

Remington 700 stock screw torque?
I have a heavy barrel rem 700 spsv in .223. I am putting a bell and carlson stock on it and was wondering what torque inch lbs I should put on the screws. I hear the torque is important for accuracy to much and not enough can impact the groups drastically.
Re: Remington 700 stock screw torque?
It depends on the rifle and the type of stock. For instance, my rifle manual calls for 35 inch pounds for a composite stock, and 55 inch pounds with a composite stock with aluminum bedding blocks (like the B&C Medalist).
Re: Remington 700 stock screw torque?
I'd call B&C and ask them as their instructions do not indicate torque specs. Every company is going to have their own specs, so it's best just to ask them directly. I just put an MDT LSS chassis on my Savage and they require 65 in/lbs for their chassis. Scope base and rings are different as they are pretty much set, but rifle stocks/chassis are completely different in the torque department..
Re: Remington 700 stock screw torque?
I would call also, and keep it in mind when sighting in, I know on my Ruger #1, the toque of the forearm can affect accuracy. So it may be something you want to mess with at the range just to see what it does.. My McMillian is 40-45 IN/LBS on my ADL by the way..

Re: Remington 700 stock screw torque?
Don't forget to check for bind. Check the action before you seat it in the stock. Does the bolt fall easily to the rear with the gun held above a 45 degree angle with the muzzle up? Check again when you seat it and torque it. You may also be able to feel any bind in the action.
