[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 571740, member: 30902"] When you build a jet engine you are looking for maximum shear resistance so you go for the max. To claim that bolts do not resist shearing flies in the face of basic physics not to mention metallurgy. They do, just not as well as a dowel because the dowel is not weakened by the threads, nor strained due to the torquing of the screw. More shear resistance for one does not mean the other has none. If the torx screws didn't resist shearing everyone's scope would shear off the rifle the first time it's fired. [/QUOTE]
