Experienced guys, have all parts in for my first build and have a torque question. Searched and couldn't get definitive answers. Below is what I have:

MDT ACC Chassis, Defiant Ruckus Action, Proof 6.5 CM Prefit Barrel, Timney trigger, Leupold Mark V HD 5-25, Spuhr Mount.

Researched all the torque specs but am curious if you add or remove lbs for antisieze on the barrel in the action, bolts into receiver, screws into the scope mount etc. Last question is to blue loctite or not for the different bolts and screws. I realize that these are new-guy questions but I'm asking because I want to learn. Any recommended numbers for torques you guys pretty much go with religiously? Thanks in advance!

That is everything loosely assembled so that I could do my case cutouts, nothing is torqued yet.
 
For the barrel, won't make a difference. I wouldn't loctite any of the other stuff, just follow Spuhr's recommended torque settings for the caps and cross bolts. For the action screws, 55in-lb front and 50in-lb rear is usually what I do but everyone has a preference.

Don't sweat it too much and have fun with it!
