Will a Wheeler #2 action wrench work the same as the Wheeler #1 for the Tikka action? I've seen most recommend the Wheeler #1, but I'd rather get the #2 if it will work the same as I have a Remington 700 also that I could use it for in the future. From the pictures it seems like you could flip the top on the #2 the same as the #1?

I have a #2 and it works perfectly for a tikka. I just turn one half of it around backwards and use an index card to protect the action. I also made a bracket at work with a threaded hole to screw a bolt in to place a torque wrench on.

After a second look I don't see how the Wheeler #2 would work because it has a curved bottom piece to fit the Rem 700, not a flat bottom, not sure what I was thinking. The pictures were misleading, showing the #1 as the #2. I guess you could run a thick piece of steel across the bottom piece to make it flat. Are you sure you used the #2?

Also, you wouldn't happen to have a pic of that bracket you made for the torque wrench?

You turn one of the halves around backwards so you have one flat side and one rounded side.
