Need a stock for a Howa mini

[Old Bob]

I have a Pendleton stock as well and inquired to the torque for action screws. They recommend 35ft lbs. I am more accustomed to 50-55 but will follow the manufacturers recommendation. I have the 20" lightweight barrel and am lucky enough to be in the general area so was able to have them custom bed for the small barrel profile. So far, no complaints.

I have bell and carlson stocks on several other rifles and have liked most of them.

I believe the 35 inch lbs (Howa's spec) is for the original plastic bottom "metal." You should be able to easily torque DIP aluminum or Oregunsmithing's flat bottom metal up to 55 inch lbs.
