Re: Scope ring torque
Thank you for the link. You are right......that is very simple and I should have thought of that. I posted the question at 4am after already working 12 hours. Just wasn"t thinking

Re: Scope ring torque
Usually the torque is around 12 in-lb for the rings-to-scope, and 55-65 in-lb for the rings-to-base.

Re: Scope ring torque
Are the figures quoted specific to the Weaver scope/mount combo the OP has, or rules-of-thumb?
I'm guessing if they are outside the manufacturer's recommended torque figures and something breaks, the OP's going to be left without warrnty and the bill for putting it right?
Hence my link to the manufacturer's CS page to get them to specify in writing....
