Rifle Scopes Nightforce X-Treme Duty 34mm Mount Wanting 100 In Pounds

Picked up a new NF mount and noticed it calls for 100 inch pounds for the pic rail screws. Right now I only have a FAT wrench so I got it to 65 inch pounds, which is max for the FAT wrench. Tugged at it a little with a regular socket wrench and it's awfully tight, I am afraid If I go much further it will snap. Has anyone else had this experience with the NF X-Treme Duty mounts? 100 in pounds just seems too high.
 
Are you sure it doesn’t say “ don’t exceed 100 inch lbs”?

I’ve never torqued extreme mounts past 68 inch lbs.
You can see the torque recommendations on the rail, maybe it infers don't exceed, but it doesn't say that, it says "CROSSBOLTS 100 IN-LBS"
