If it's pillar bedded as well, then I've heard 60-65 in lbs... If not, then 40-45 inch lbs. I'm sure others will chime in also.
Now that I’ve bedded my recoil lug how many inch lbs should I tighten my action screws to. I have a Stevens 200 action with a shilen 26 inch varmint barrel sitting in a bell and Carlson medalist stock. Thanks

It has the aluminum bedding block that the recoil lug sits in front of.
Have no idea what the recommended torque is for the Aluminum bedding blocks... I would think that it would be close to pillars... Maybe someone else has a better idea?
Good luck,
I do 65 in/lb in my B&C as well...feels solid as a rock. Any metal pillared stock gets 65, composite wood 45.
The actual torque value isn't what's important as the number for best accuracy can and will vary from gun to gun, but the key is to being consistent with the number you tighten to whether it's 40, 45, 50, etc. Find what torque your rifle shoots best at and then stick with it.

Tested all my Savages and ALL of them like between 35 and 45 in-lbs. Short and long actions, accustocks, glassed/pillar, pillar only.
Torquing to 40 in-lbs is a safe bet.
Wood stocks 35"/lbs front screw-tang screw 30"/lbs
composite 45"/lbs front screw- tang screw 40"/lbs
These are the numbers work best in my rifles...
Hey Zero !! Thanks for correcting my terminology.. Gonna call it the Rear action screw in the future. Lol !!
I have been following this advise, and torque tuning the rear action screw for best accuracy. Works with the two screw actions also, and makes a huge difference.

Banning a gun will not solve what is a mental health crisis inflamed by incendiary rhetoric on social and television media. The first amendment in this case is less precious and more likely the causal factor than the second amendment.
