I did this gun for a good pal several years ago. He wants to do his own maintaining on it now and wanted advice on how much to 'torque' the action screws down. I showed him how to get the barrelled action in and out, seat the recoil lug and tighten the action screws on my pillar bedding job with an Allen wrench. Plus, I educated him on the fallacy of action screws needing a specific torque on a well done, stress free pillar bedding job like I'd done on this rifle. Bada bing, bada boom. Done, right? 
He calls yesterday and said he bought a good torque wrench. Problem was that he bought a lbs/ft. one rather than an inch/lb. wrench. At 50 lbs./ft., the Allen recess in the front action screw decided it had enough and rolled over.
So there I am this morning......
