Welcome Doug!
I have the factory service manual. Kinda pricey but no errors. I've never used the Clymer, so I can't compare the two.
I did do the head torque as part of my initial 600 mile service. It was so painful, I couldn't believe it was part of every service! The feed back I got here was generally "not happening". I then went to my dealer and talked to the senior mechanic. They had to look it up to see if it was part of any service, and were completely surprised. Since they've been in business longer than the Savage has been in production, I think it's safe to say they've never done it!
For myself, I don't plan on doing it again until the next time I have to go in there. Probably in a couple of years when I do the tensioner mod, which should be about the 25k miles mark.

For all of you who responded - thank you - your thoughts/experiences should prove to be very valuable - I will not be re-torquing the head - I have already ordered the Clymer manual thru my dealership - all comments/advice will be considered and much appreciated -

I'd redo the head torque any time I have to replace the cam chain or any other time I had a solid reason to take the head cover off the top of the head.
In other words, very very rarely and only as part of another tear down.
