Rifle Scopes 8-40 base torque spec- seekins

[DP425]

Just looking to verify since my packaging did not have anything listed, and the new website seems to be void of torque specs. 15in/lb on the 8-40 screws just like the 6-32 screws? Or is it higher?

Thanks

Kind of what I figured despite the fact that the larger fasteners are capable of higher tq

Its not necessarily the fasteners , but the threads in your action

15inlb is always good for a base
