If it goes low enough, but he careful I'd don't take much to over do it. Remember inch lbs not foot lbs.
Is that grouping with the Vortex scope?
as troy said your looking for an in/lb wrench....Honestly i LIKE the screw driver type, such as the wheeler digital fat wrench ive got, so would suggest one of those for stuff like guns and scopes...and well fasteners upto about 3/8th-10mm, after that usually the torque ratings get into the ft/lbs....but i DO use mine for automotive workWhile we're here, I've been meaning to get a torque wrench for a while. (I have a massive one I used to install a trailer hitch.) For occasional jobs like scopes and mounts, is there any reason a cheap Harbor Freight one won't work?
I guess my thoughts on this was I should have purchased a Nikon to start with. Any thoughts on this?
I would have gotten a Nikon, but because the Vortex glass I have isn't up to my expectations. The Ruger is a fine rifle, I wouldn't waste my time on less than a Leupold, Nikon, or if you get your tax return early, a Zeiss.
The real cost on cheap scopes, as you are already finding out, is the waste of range time, ammo, targets, etc, on a scope which won't hold zero.
I am pleased with the set up for now...the group it shoots at 200 yards will be plenty good for the deer hunting I do.
