Here is a video by Larry Potterfield from Midway USA on how to properly torque your stock screws and why. Hopefully this might clear up some of the confusion (or add to it) depending on your point of view.
Larry uses a Wheeler FAT wrench and torques both the front and rear stock screws to 60 inch pounds or 5 foot pounds (60 divided by 12) / conversion.
I have bought a lot of stuff from Midway USA over the years and received good advice from them when I called on something.

Tightening the guard screws to factory specified torque settings on a bolt action rifle is critical to ensure shot to shot consistency. This setting, usually around sixty inch pounds, ensures the critical portions of the action are seated firmly in the stock's bedding points. In this video Larry Potterfield, CEO and Founder of MidwayUSA, demonstrates how to properly torque the guard screws on a bolt action using the Wheeler Engineering Firearms Accurizing Tool, also referred to as the FAT wrench.
