Our standard rifles are Barnard P in laminated stocks with alloy V Blocks.

What is the thoughts on best torque setting for the action bolts?

Make sure you adjust to inch/pound, not foot /pound, there is a couple of horror stories around.

I should have added that the stocks are pillar bedded.
Necessary but have seen some stocks without them and alloy block?
