    Best Optic rimfire m4?

    I just picked up a tricked out rimfire m4 trainer. It won’t be shooting beyond 400m. The idea is to save money on ammo and replicate the real deal I use in the military.

    Rifle Scopes Official Zero Compromise Optic News & Updates

    Just got a ZCO 527 and it’s a great scope, but just went to zero it and read that the turret screws need to be torqued to 4.5 in lbs. Unfortunately my Borka torque kit doesn’t go that low. Can anyone recommend what they used to torque them down as recommended?
