    Maybe reviving an old 2017 post?  Well, here's an update from 2019.
    I just bought a new Tikka T3X  SS/syn in 30/06.  In 2 different places 
    (Pages 13  & 115)  in the supplied manual it says to torque the action screws to 62 in/lbs.

    My intuition sez that's way and Hell to tight!  Snooping around on Beretta USA website I see recommended torque as 25-30 in/lbs.
    I also see where people have contacted Beretta Tech Support, and they were told 51-52 in/lbs.  I've also seen the torque figure of 44 in/lbs.

    So…..since Feb 2017…up to the present time…Tikka/Beretta has not had the time to correct the typo in the manual??

    To say I'm disappointed is an understatement.  My opinion of Tikka/Beretta has dropped a lot, and I've not even fired my new rifle yet.

    …..and I absolutely do  NOT NOT know the correct torque figures for the action screws on my Tikka!!!

    Even if Tikka/Beretta  _DOES_  contact me, I see no good reason to believe whatever kind of “stuff”  they may present to me.  See no reason to believe them.
