35 inch pounds is a good place to start.
What is the normal stock screw torque needed? Ordinarily I just ram them in as tight as I can but I have lately heard this can be
overdoing it and cause the receiver to flex the receiver or crush the wood. Thanks

Wood or plastic stock?
Wood, I tighten the front two screws @ 30"lbs and tighten the tang screw @ 20" lbs.
I corrected the above to "inch lbs".
Sometimes I get in a big hurry, sorry.

My B-Mag says 50 inch lbs.
finger tight?
the 30 inch lbs was for the accu stock?
does screw torque make any difference on a Tupperware or laminate stock?
newbie from gr, mi.
Laminate Stocks, PTA actions:
Seat Recoil Lug and Start with Front Action Screw(s)
On the model 12, I will first ensure that the recoil lug is seated securely against the stock by just lightly tightening up the front receiver screw then gently but firmly bumping the butt pad against the floor. Next I will tighten up the front two receiver screws to 30 inch-pounds starting at 20 inch-pounds and working up to the 30 inch-pounds in 5 inch-pound increments, and always tightening the front screw first and then the second screw. Once the front two receiver screws are torqued to the final torque setting, I will set the rear receiver screw to 5 inch-pounds and shoot a 5-shot group [to evaluate accuracy].
