Torque settings for Panda action screws

Hi readers,

Curious as to the torque settings for a Fclass Panda action with 3 screws , it has pillars with Devon bedding in Kelbly M1

As received they are all the same at 40 in/ pds

At what torque setting should they be ? Or maximum and minimum ?

Told to try outer 2 the same and middle a bit less , or front 2 the same and rear a bit less .

Any advise welcome
Thanks

Sir,
On my two Stolle Panda F Class rifles, they are both set up in laminated wood stocks with aluminium bedding blocks, l torque all three screws @ 45 inch/lbs this has worked for me, but this with the above set up.
But, is the 40 inch/lbs torque that the gunsmith set up, if it is, then l would go with his recommendations
Cheers

Thanks Ken , I am new to Pandas the others I have are simple Barnards and served me well , but need light weight components to make combination options easier in F/TR , so information gathering begins to tune the new toy.
