Tikka torque

[Dougfirtree]

Tikka owners: If you use a torque wrench to secure the factory trigger guard piece, what do you set it for? And, is your rifle bedded?

My rifles are not bedded. 30-35 inch pounds for wood and 40-45 for synthetic is the recommended settings.
I just run everything at 35.

Tikka 3x Lite SS in 20300WSM. Not bedded, and I don’t torque the trigger guard.

Wood, bedded, 40.

I bedded and installed pillar inserts in my synthetic stock. IIRC the kit recommended 35 inch pounds which is what I set mine at initially. I grouped it at 30, 35, and 40 inch pounds to see how it responded, it shot the best at 30.

My Tikkas are not bedded. I have used a fat wrench set to 40 lb, but I don't always get that anal with the trigger guard and stock. Probably should. I'm very retentive about pretty much everything else.

I go 35 on action screws, not bedded. No complaints.

I have mine set at 35 in-lbs. Synthetic stock
