Re: scope torque wrench
Never used either (I have an in/lb from Sears) but Warne makes what looks like a good one. I don't know about the Wheeler (Midway) one.
I like the wrench but it is more bulky. Plus side is I can use it on action screws, etc.
Look at tools from Brownells.

Another thumbs up for the Borka. I purchased one from Brownells and am well pleased.

Re: scope torque wrench
We had a T-handle uber-superduper-highspeed torque wrench. It was like $160 and was a single setting. A friend of ours has a Borka and its kicks the snot out of ours. Portable, compact, and has more than one setting. Guess what our next one will be?

Yes, it uses 1/4 hex bits. Do you have a Brownells dealer account?

If I didn't already have Seekonks, I'd go with the Borka. However, if you happen to be in the market for new optics over $499, check out Liberty Optic's special: http://www.snipershide.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=2213644&gonew=1#UNREAD
(combo set of Seekonks thrown in free)

Re: scope torque wrench
Just picked up a CDI torque screwdriver recently. The adjustable torque range is 5-40 in lbs with 0.5" increment. www.cditorque.com

Thanks for the link. Even though I have a TW, The Borka looks easier to handle for rings, bases, etc. so I ordered one thru my Brownell's account.
Cost me over $250 though. Going to Brownells is like Walmart. You always buy more than you went for!!

Re: scope torque wrench
Snap-on 1/4" torque screw driver, adjustable from 5-40in/lb accepts any 1/4" bits (i.e. screw driver, torx, sockets etc). Kind of expensive but as a Snap-on the warranty is unreal.

Looks like this one is the re-branded CDI 5-40 inch-lbs., mentioned above.The only difference appears to be the color and the price, with SNAP-ON brand being more expensive.
