I've had the stock off the new to me Weatherby a couple times now. I understand that it is important to properly torque the trigger guard screws that hold the receiver to the stock. I believe the screws are supposed to be torqued to 35 inch pounds. I hate to spend $60 + for a cheap torque screwdriver, and was thinking that a 1/4 drive torque wrench calibrated in in/lbs should do the trick for a whole lot less money.
Anybody use a beam or click type 1/4 drive torque wrench for this? Should I just snug the screws and call it good? The Weatherby has a synthetic stock and I believe it has no aluminum pillars.
Spring has sprung. Get out and shoot your Henry

I use 1/4 inch drive click type. I don't consider beam type for inch/lbs all that accurate.

Re: Screw torque question
When you say 1/4 drive click type, are you talking a torque screwdriver, or one of the click type wrenches? The latter are smaller versions of the torque wrenches mechanics use on cars.
