I tried multiple searches to find the recommended torque spec for a Badger M5 on a McMillan, but only found one posts that recommended "53 in. pounds" and "60 in. pounds". Can someone assist? It's pillar bedded if that changes anything.

53 to 55 inch pounds are all you'll need since its pillar bedded. 60 would also work. There is no magical torque #

I agree, the only reason to have a specific torque is so you can repeat it if you have to take the action out of the stock and put it back without a change in zero.

BO instructions state 65"lb. I doubt a little less matters.
