Torque Recommendations

Cap screws should be tightened until they’re snug but not too tight. Never tighten them beyond the scope manufacturer’s specifications. Verify with the scope manufacturer what the maximum allowable torque is before you start tightening your screws.

Torque should be checked by the gunsmith before mounting a scope. Make sure you use a torque wrench that is calibrated. Never exceed the recommended torque setting.
