On an Enfield .303 world opinion is Gorilla tight, and when the rifle is not in use the forward trigger guard screw is to be loosened until the next shooting match. On a wooden stock humidity, temperature and other factors govern "torque" and "hand tight is not a consistent value.

Please don't frighten people away who have something to say about the question asked.

And some people like torque values and consistency, and the Savage Accuracy.com disagrees with your comments. http://savageaccuracy.com/
