Rifle Scopes BO Ring Bolt Torque Question

[45.308]

Are these torqued to 90 in lbs?

With out a torque wrench, if I remember right, tighten bolt finger tight then 90 degrees more with a wrench for correct torque value?

Thanks

Got it thanks, got my numbers wrong, 65 torque and 90 degree, my wrench only goes to 60 in lbs is why I asked.

Thanks

65in # rings to base, 15in # on the rings to scope.

Which inch lb. gauge do you have? The Fat Wrench I just bought only says 60 on it's gauge, but it actually goes to 65. It just depends on where you set the needle.

Good luck, hope this helps.

Fat Wrench indeed, I adjusted top of the marker to just proud of 60 and snapped it several times on the bolts.

Thanks
