Mdt forum says use the gun manufacturers spec on rimfires. Thats stated here:

Savage specs 15 inch lbs. Thats stated here:

That being said I would probably start at 10 and fiddle around with different torque until the gun shot its best.

I would call MDT directly. Torque specs on a chassis are usually a lot higher than for a wood or synthetic stock. I put my Savage MkII in an MDT LSS 1st Gen Chassis and I think the torque setting they recommended was 45-50.
