    40-45 seems high for plastic stock. I think it's higher for laminate/fiberglass stocks, but Savage calls for 30-35 on plastic. That being said, I'm curious if the rear one needs to be set lighter or both should function at the same torque setting.

    I have mine set the same, but I have also heard that the rear screw can sometimes run at a lighter torque setting. 20-25 is the case I heard.

    just read this and give it a try... Most guys find 35-40 to be the sweet spot... YMMV

    That’s the same one I was just reading when looking for answers.
    Looks like he sets the front one at 30-35 and then plays with the rear one in increments of 5.

    I misunderstood that article at first because he was describing a three screw action. I missed the part at first about doing the same with a 2 action screw gun and just tinkering with the rear one.

    I’ll be giving it a shot hopefully this week.
