[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 571571, member: 30902"] What mount did you order? All of the leupold mounts I've ever used had either three or four screws? You got me scratching my head here pretty good HA! Oh, on bedding the mount, when you apply the JB and put it on the rifle, barely, and I mean barely snug the screws down. Give it 24 hours and then fully tighten them. As for "fully tightening", just use the little wrench they include, use the long end to the nut and hold the short end and don't tighten them any more than you can holding the short end. That is unless you have a torque wrench/driver. If so set it at no more than 14 in/lbs. Those little suckers are way to easy to snap off with over torquing and that gets to be a real expensive pain in the *** when you have to take the whole thing to the gun smith to try and drill them out and pull them with an ez out.
