Just out of curiosity,how did you measure "a few inch pounds"?
Well, after using a myriad of torque devices over the last 20+ years of aircraft maintenance, you get a "feel" for a few inch pounds. I could torque a radome closed with a ratchet, then check with a torque wrench and would be within a "few inch pounds" every time. We had some inch ounce torques too, now those were really tough to get close without over-torqueing.
But if you really thing an accuwedge will ruin your rifle, then get whatever gimmick you want. And yes, I think an accuwedge is a gimmick too.
