    All action screws IMHO should be torqued, for best accuracy. The torque values will have to be searched for, but not over 60 INCH-pounds.

    EDIT 1

    There is not a reccommended torque per sey, you have to experiment, to see what settings give you the best accuracy, and then write them down, and stick with them.

    This could also vary from load to load. Yes I know, another variable to keep track of. Just like race car teams, all the top guys pay extreme attention to EVERY little detail.

    THERE IS NO FACTORY RECOMMENDED TORQUE, JUST BE CONSISTENT 40/60 INCH LBS. SHOULD DO IT.
