Action screw torque setting have been determined by machine resting the rifle then shooting 20- to 30-shot that's groups at different torques. Whatever makes the smallest groups is the spec. It varies with action types. But for a given action, the amount seems to be the same across all stock materials except steel or aluminum tube guns. I don't know about tube guns.
Most .22 rimfire match rifles do best with 20 to 25 inch pounds.
