<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Leaddog</div><div class="ubbcode-body">15-25 in/lbs sounds like a large spread. What would be the proper torque for a NF (30mm)scope? </div></div>
Seekins 'says' 15 IN LB to cover themselves for thin-walled scopes. NF should be able to take a setting toward the higher end of that range.
Also, on REM700 base screws, some factory stocked (H&S) rifles like 50-60 IN LB better than 65. When you shoot groups at different base torques sometimes there is a difference in group size, if so, keep the torque that makes that rifle happy (assuming all other variables are constant).
That is why I like a good dial torque wrench over the wrench that has just one torque setting.

People should also take note most of the items listed are steel. The lighter stuff may not take that much torque without blowing the threads.
