[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 273252, member: 4191"] [b]Re: scope ring torques[/b] Exactly right. Scope tubes can actually be permanently deformed if you get carried away torquing down the rings on the scope tube. It doesn't matter the brand of scope. The rings don't need to be any tighter than to keep the scope fixed from slipping. If 15 inch-pounds won't hold them then you may need to lap the rings or apply some Loctite or some other friction increaser to the surface of the scope tube/ring interface. All excessive torque will accomplish is damage... [/QUOTE]
