[QUOTE="gabell727, post: 2213302, member: 35164"] I have learned that for anything over a 270, I need 35 in lb of torque. The ring manufactures give torque values that aren't enough to hold a 308, much less a 300 win mag. For decently made scopes, including Nikon, nightforce, you can go up to 50 lb with not problem, but you have to go up to at least 35. Any scope or rings that can't handle over 40 in-lbs is junk.
