IIRC the screws are not the same length!
Make sure you have good thread engagement before applying torque.

Make sure you don't torque the last screw in the trigger guard! The wood screw! Don't laugh drop,many have done this and I for one! ;D First week I had my Savage! Broke my wood so she had her first repair,luckily its a easy fix.
I believe torque is probably more important on a non-bedded gun. If the action is properly pillared and bedded the torquing of the screws shouldn't have much or any effect.You shouldn't be able to compress you pillars or bedding.
I will probably torque to 35 or 40 on my pillared, bedded Savage!

Rex, I torqued my trigger guard, too; just stripped out the wood. A matchstick and glue fixed it.
I bet you're right about torquing a well-bedded Savage; but, if you have problems with load development, back off the action screws. LOL.

I do know this.. When I torqued it the stock came in contact with the barrel..You couldnt pull a dollar bill (actually I used a 5 dollar bill. Aren't they a little thicker?) and it hung up..Then I re-positioned it and torqued it a gain a couple time's and then it floated all right.Drop

Drop, your post set off an alarm for me: I think your barrel-stock clearance is way too little. Richard first alerted me to my own set-up's being too close for the harmonics of recoil. (He suggested a clearance equal to the combined thickness of two business cards.) In order to maintain a straight edge at the tops of the barrel channel wrap sandpaper around a dowel and just push back and forth. It's that easy. I used a length of PVC.
Harley
P.S.: After sanding, coat the sanded channel with a clear polyurethane to protect the stock from solvents/oils/water.
