ACTION SCREW TORQUE SPECS: SETTING UP YOUR GRAYBOE STOCK FOR PEAK PERFORMANCE 

When upgrading to a Grayboe rifle stock, proper action screw torque is essential for ensuring accuracy, stability, and repeatability. A common question we get from shooters is: What is the correct torque setting for my Grayboe stock? In this post, we’ll break down the recommended action screw torque specs and why following these settings is crucial for precision and durability. 

RECOMMENDED TORQUE SPEC FOR ALL GRAYBOE STOCKS 

 🔹 45 in-lbs – This is the recommended torque spec for the action screws on all Grayboe stock models. 

Applying the correct inch-pound torque ensures that your rifle’s action is properly secured without over-tightening, which can cause unwanted stress on both the stock and the action. 

WHY PROPER TORQUE MATTERS 

1️⃣ Consistency & Accuracy – Correct torque prevents shifting or movement, which is key to maintaining zero and repeatable accuracy. 

2️⃣ Prevents Over-Tightening – Excessive torque can stress the stock material and action, leading to potential damage or inconsistent performance. 

3️⃣ Optimal Bedding Contact – Ensuring even pressure distribution enhances the rifle’s bedding interface for the best performance. HOW TO TORQUE YOUR ACTION SCREWS 

PROPERLY WHAT YOU’LL NEED: 

✔ Torque Wrench (inch-pound rated) 

✔ Appropriate Hex or Torx Bit (depending on your rifle’s action screws) 

STEPS TO PROPERLY TORQUE YOUR ACTION SCREWS: 

1️⃣ Ensure the rifle is unloaded before making any adjustments.

2️⃣ Loosen both action screws completely if they are already installed. 

3️⃣ Insert the barreled action into the Grayboe stock, ensuring proper alignment. 

4️⃣ Tighten the front action screw first, setting it to 45 in-lbs using a torque wrench. 

5️⃣ Tighten the rear action screw to 45 in-lbs as well. 

6️⃣ Double-check the torque settings to confirm they are at the correct specification. 

7️⃣ Function test your rifle to ensure proper cycling of the bolt and trigger operation. FINAL 

THOUGHTS: LOCK IN YOUR ACCURACY WITH PROPER TORQUE 

Using the correct 45 in-lbs torque setting on your Grayboe stock ensures your rifle is properly secured, stable, and repeatable. Whether you’re using a Phoenix, Eagle Pro, Trekker, or any other Grayboe model, this torque spec applies across the board. By following these simple steps, you’ll get the most accuracy and longevity out of your stock and action setup.
