Ring caps- 15-20 in/lbs, I use 20
Rings to base- usually 55-65 in/lbs depending on manufacturer
Base to rifle- usually 20-30 in/lbs

+1 on Rob's comments!

Before you do anything...check with the mfg of your base/rings/etc. and see what is specifically recommend for use on their products. Most offer some guidance with their products and the torque range can vary somewhat depending on the materials used in construction, the screws, etc., etc.
