He is the go to man for all stock related issues. He told me 40-45 in/lbs. Couldn't remember the sequence but I think it was to tighten the front to 35, then the rear, then front to 45, then the rear. He will answer in a day or two. At first I thought that was excessive until Wby told me their torque rate is 55 in/lbs. on my Ultralight. Wow, that's a lot.

No need to torque over 37" pounds anytning over that and you can fracture some factory bottom metal!
