[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1673634, member: 12995"] You should also check the scope manufacturer for tube torque specs...Call if they don't have them listed on their website. Sometimes the tube specs are thinner than what the ring manufacturer tested their rings with. If this happens, you can be up ****-creek if you over torque and bend a tube or crack an internal lens. You can go 1-2 inch-pounds over (they underrate to be safe and give some wiggle-room), but I wouldn't go anymore than that. If they say "14 inch-pounds", 15 inch-pounds won't hurt anything. But I wouldn't go over that. Like you said, proper torque is VERY important... A good quality inch-pound torque wrench is worth every penny. I use the Wheeler FAT Wrench. [/QUOTE]
