hello,
In the next 72 hours I will get delivery of my brand new Tikka T3 and a Leupold VX-3 2.5-8x36, both new brands to me.
Leupold recommends approx 17 in-lb on ring screws for their scopes. I have seen forum posts where people had scope issues (adjustment/click reliability and precision) with overtightened rings.
DNZ website for their game reaper mount says to go 30 in-lbs because their rings are machined true and need more torque than other rings to hold scopes.
What would you do?
