12 VLP DBM SS Action screw torque

[65Whelen]

I tried to do a search and checked FAQ with no luck, maybe I missed it. Anyway is there a recommended torque for the action screws?

I found 45 inch pounds on the front and 20 rear tightened up my groups, but yours may be much different.

If you need a torque wrench, they're about twenty bucks at Harbor Freight Tools.
