torque specs for Burris XTR Sig Rings

The cap screw torque will be whatever your scope manufacturer suggests. The base clamp screws Burris lists a pretty wide range of 40-70 inch pounds.
The installation instructions say that the base screws should be tightened to 40-70 inch pounds. However, it doesn't specify for the ring screws.
The limiting factor for the ring screws is what the scope will take. I use Vortex scopes and they say nothing tighter than 13-18 inch pounds. I use the Fix-it-sticks torque drives and tighten the ring screws to 15 inch pounds.
Everything stays put. I haven't had any trouble with them. I use the Burris XTR rings on all my rifles with only a few exceptions.

Since these XTR rings have plastic inserts, I torque mine to 18 in lbs, the upper limit recommended by Vortex 30mm tube. Almosts 9,000 .308 rounds fired and I've not had any issues with my rings.
