in all honesty I own 2 torque wrenches for doing up the king screws but find the gorilla grip tight on the front screw and the just tight on the back is plenty
I saw that tip from Nick Harvey years ago but he may have changed his mind on torque wrenches now
its what I do when I don't have a torque wrench handy
for a 22 hold the forearm and the barrel as you tighten don't let the action or barrel bend
