gruntus Posted June 17, 2022 Report Share Posted June 17, 2022 Hi All, I contacted Sabatti support directly to get information on Torque settings for tightening down an STR action in to its Chassis System. They quoted 15 Nm (Front) and 14 Nm(Rear) which converts to 132 in lbs and 123 in lbs respectively. Anybody have any thoughts on the above? They sound a bit high and I would like to sanity check before (potentially) stripping a thread........ 😱 ATB and thanks in advance.

Silvermachine Posted June 17, 2022 Report Share Posted June 17, 2022 According to this website, you would need at least an 8 mm screw to tighten to those values. https://www.trfastenings.com/knowledge-base/metric-screws/socket-screws-tightening-torques Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't own a Sabbati but have owned Remington, Howa, Tikka, Blaser, Mauser and Sako. They've been in wood, laminate and synthetic stocks. Some pillar bedded, some not. None have required more than 4nm torque. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeman Posted June 17, 2022 Report Share Posted June 17, 2022 I tighten 1/4 x 28 action screws to 7nm on aluminium or SS pillar bedded laminate/composite stocks I've read reference to 65 i/p for pillar bedded rifles online which if my conversion is correct is a bit more than 7nm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcampbellsmith Posted June 17, 2022 Report Share Posted June 17, 2022 I was advised when I picked up my rifle to use 5.5 Nm. Regards JCS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gruntus Posted June 18, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2022 Thanks for all your responses gents, the front appears to be an M6 bolt and the rear is much smaller. It does seem a bit ridiculous, I have gone back to them to confirm (unfortunately having to use Google Translate to communicate) Thanks, will let you know the response.
