Ring Torque - 12/05/19 02:42 PM
I didn’t have my torque wrench handy so I tightened down my scope rings with a T15 driver to what I thought was good. Later I grabbed the wrench and set them correctly at 25 inch pounds. Guess what, I was a full rotation too loose. I was actually very surprised.
Point being, if you’re not very experienced doing it by hand (I'm not), a torque wrench is a must have for mounting scopes, tightening action bolts, etc. I can think 1 action screw, and two scopes that came loose on me before I got a torque wrench. I just proved to myself why. Anyway, food for thought.
