Something to consider getting is the EZ Rachet breechplug tool, as it allows you to remove the breechplug without loosening the rear action screw, thus eliminating a possible move of POI due to shifting. I have never noticed a shift in my sav, but have one on order. You can get the info to order one, if interested on the link I post earlier to Dougs Message Board. They are a little spendy, at least I think so, at $43 and change, but seem like a very good thing to have if accuracy is especiallly important to you.
Yes, I saw that tool, but $43 is a bit much I think. I need to get a rachet or screw driver that has a ft/lbs and make sure I tighten the screw to exactly what I did before. I think I will go that way, since the screwdriver would have broader application. Thanks for the suggestion.

Don't worry about tightening the vent liner or breachplug to a specific ft/lbs. I have never worried, other than to have a good amount of nickel antiseize on the the threads for both and "snug" tight works. You should be able to get a good number of shots with 5744, say 50-70 before the vent liner starts to go. If you start using a hotter powder you will get less shots.
