[QUOTE="RDM416, post: 100766, member: 3745"] What kind of scope, and what kind of rings? I used to tighten my rings as tight as I could get them,and I mean really tight. Mounted lots of scopes and never had any problems. That was before I had a torque wrench that would measure inch/pounds. Now I tighten screws to 50 inch/pounds for aluminum rings and 60 for steel. Again no problems with any of my scopes. Some ring manufactures will give you reccomened torque values as well. Check the website of your ring manufacturer. [/QUOTE]
