[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 230387, member: 2011"] Here's some really bad advice: On my 338 RUM, maxed out loads in heavy bullets, Burris Sig ring w/plastic inserts, I torqued the ring screws until the grooves on the wrench turned into threads (about a 3/4 twist). This is with a weavr 1" tactical, not nearly as heavy as the NF. All of this was after I could not get other rings to hold and ruined a decent scope. The scope has never slipped but the rear windage notches on the rear ring sheared so I went with double dove tail bases. Things are back to normal or better. Again this is bad advice. I scoff at 20 inch pounds. But I learn the hard way. [/QUOTE]
