Generally I'd like to torque as high as possible, as long as I don't compress the substrate materials. The rule of thumb is just some simple guideline I go by. I torque my Rem 700 BDL to 60 in-lb. It has wooden stock glass bedded with aluminum pillars. It shoots scarily accurately, so 60 lb-in for win 70 is not surprising at all.
