[QUOTE="Gills, post: 1599308, member: 105558"] I did check all screws had stock off to lighten trigger. Torqued to factory specs after a couple phone calls to browning and a post on here. I do know that I may have over torqued the scope rings I think I tightened them around 25 inch pounds a found out later that vortex calls for 18. That was going to be my next check was going to loosen and remove one ring at a time to inspect for damage. I did damage a vortex scope by over tightening on another rifle that’s when vortex told me 18 inch pounds and no loctight. These are my first two vortex scopes and I can’t help but feel that the tubes are a bit soft. I have never used a torque wrench in the past until this rifle and never had an issue but that is with leupold scopes [/QUOTE]
