[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 2073962, member: 93138"] I bought a lapping kit that came with a torque wrench that I do not trust. When I do torque small screws I use my 1/4" drive beam scale torque wrench that I use for lots of other things. Easy to see when those are out of calibration, unlike any type of "clicker." Easy to re-calibrate them too! That said, I went decades before ever using a torque wrench on scope rings. Mounted a lot of scopes during my time behind the counter, never had one come back. Most were Burris rings, but a few (thankfully only a few) were Weavers with the sheet metal top strap. [/QUOTE]
