I'm having trouble finding the specifications of torque to secure my rifle scope. I need the torque to secure the SS scope rings to the base(I guess they are called windage screws, thats what people keep telling me). And help is very much appreciated.

Re: Lock it down!
I just got out my fat wrench and the instructions recommends for windage screws 30-40inch-lbs. Although they would recommend something that low to avoid blame of messing up the scope rings. The wrench doesn't even go to 65 so i need to get another wrench.

Re: Lock it down!
65 lbs is correct. And Brownells has them in stock and preset to 65 lbs. Well worth your investment. In the meantime run by a gunshop and have them do it for you. Do NOT over tighten.

Re: Lock it down!
65 inch-pounds is right for Badger and TPS rings. For USO rings, it's 30 inch-pounds. For others, read the instructions, call or check the manufacturer's website.

Would help if the O/P would tell us who made his "junk" so we don't have to guess.
