A torque wrench isn't needed. Nice but not needed. I'm sure you can realize the difference between the right torque and gorilla strength.
Tightening the screws in the correct order is important though. Most 700's will have 2 action screws, some with blind magazines have 3. If you have 2 screws the one in the rear should be just finger tight, then get the front screw TIGHT. Then come back and get the rear screw. It shouldn't be as tight. I'm sure someone can provide specs., I just know when it "feels" right to me.
If you have a blind magazine there is a 3rd screw in the middle. It's only purpose is to hold the trigger guard in place. It should be just tight enough to not fall out.

Overview
For the Model 700 rifles with synthetic or wood stocks, the guard screws should only be hand tight, which is 30 to no more than 35 inch pounds.
The Varmint, Sendero & Police stocks are tightened to 45 inch pounds from the factory. Over tightening of these screws could potentially crack the stock.

When I posed that question to Remington for my 700 Long Range, I was told 70 inch pounds.
Maybe because of the Bell and Carlson M40 stock it uses?
