Some interesting points here. I have a factory 110 Tactical 6.5 in which I had the action out to lighten the trigger up a bit the other day and torqued it back down and I think the Savage manual says 45 in/lbs? Maybe 40, I can’t remember. I think it also says to have the rifle on its stock while pushing down on the action (the rifle would be pointed towards the air with the recoil pad on the table) while you tightened it.

I remember an article that Robinhood???? Posted about going in 10lb increments back and forth between the action screws? Until I can or do get a better stock of like to get the most accuracy out of the one I have and the best torque setting would be a start.
