Action Screw Torque

[Harry]

I have a Savage Model 12 LRPV rifle. The synthetic stock fore end was putting pressure on the bottom of the barrel. I had to pull the stock and sand down the high spot and make sure that I had .060 clearance between barrel and stock. My question is the torque value and sequence for the three action screws. I am hoping someone can put me on the right track. Thanks.

3 screw PTA action, I have always set the front two @ 30 in lbs, and set the rear @20 in lbs.

Works for me.
