The manual to my Win M70 says to torque the two action screws to 35 in pounds, and that's what I've always done. I've been reading around, and some big name professional gun writers suggest getting the front screw as tight as humanly possible and the rear screw to 35-45 in pounds..Personally I haven't had any issues just sticking to both screws torqued to 35-40 inch pounds. What's some of you're opinions?
 
There is a sticky for torque values posted by Fotis.
Torque values change with stock material, bedding and firearm manufacture.
