[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1305098, member: 13632"] Torque to the specs in the optics manual, this why so many guys have repeat failures of optics, they torque them all like they are heavy walled and they crush the tubes. Bases and rings all have tolerances in manufacturing, I prefer to bed the rings over lapping but some rings are made to be lapped in some are not. Some are too slick to hold heavy scopes and need the lapping for traction. [/QUOTE]
