Not only test with torque, but make sure you tighten in the same order, I can't remember the "proper" order and it may be different for different guns.
But I believe it's rear action screw first, then to front, been years since I've done the precision game and worried about this, now these aren't MOA at 1,000yd type situations, but no need to mess with an expensive trip.
Anyways, point being, it may be wise to test, say, 30in/lbs rear, then front, then 60 or whatever in/lbs, rear to front for final.
Shoot a group at 50yds, can be a simple 2 shot group if you don't feel you pulled one, this doesn't need to be crazy.
Pull the gun apart completely, then repeat that and see where you're hitting.
Doing it not only to the same force amount, but in the same order may prove more important than a guy would think.
I did a whole torque value test about 10 or so years ago on my Fclass gun, shot several groups at several distances, to about 400yds at several torque values, documented it and had it up on Snipershide, no idea if it's still there and that really isn't the point.
The point is, changing torque values, even 5 in/lbs could be the difference between 1/2moa and 1 moa, the gun was bedded.
Again, these aren't necessarily numbers that would ruin a hunt like this, but it may be worth the 5 mins to see if Sako tells you the order in which to tighten the action screws, and the recommended torque value, wood is generally lower, I think around 45.
Then, do that, and test with a couple groups at 50 and just see...
If you have already done this, great, I don't anticipate an end of the world result if things aren't perfect, but again, a guy would hate for an issue to show itself in Africa.
Good luck to you, may you find great success.
