[QUOTE="TB2BLAZER, post: 2982685, member: 128141"] Vortex recommended 15-18 inch lbs for the ring screws so I set my fatmax to 16 the first time and 17 the second time. Warne (the rings I have paired with the Venom) recommends 65 inch lbs on the 1/2" nut that's clamped to the rail. I set my fatmax to 65 inch pounds both times for each nut on each ring. I looked on ruger forums as well for torque specs on the action bolts and they all said the same thing the manual says, 60-80 inch pounds. So I put my wrench at 65 inch pounds and alternated front and rear 1/4 turn at a time until 65 inch pounds reached. I am very very big stickler on torque values and alternating tightening sequences. It's something I do with all my firearms that I picked up from working on motors all my life. [/QUOTE]
