Default Browning torques out to lunch.

So took my X-bolt apart to turn down the trigger a bit and wanted to find out the torque on the bolts when putting it back together. Called them up and was told 10-15 pounds I said foot or inch. Was told inch, I told him that is pretty low and he said that was the info he had. Did a quick google seach and quickly found out that guys are getting all defferent specs from these guys. I ended up going 50 for the front bolt and 25 inch pounds for the back, sound good to you guys in the know? I also put a small touch of blue lock tight just in case. Pretty sad when you can't get the right info.

Pretty sad when a receiver or bedding block is so flexible that you have to worry about over-torquing the assembly with a common screwdriver.
