Thread: tikka optilock torque settings

I would never, repeat never let any staff of a H&F or GC store mount a scope on a rifle of mine.

It's pretty easy mount a scope especially with the Optilocks as they have the plastic inserts to help with any alignment issues. Don't stress about torqueing - just go easy on the ring screws with your hand on the short end of the allen/torx key (whatever they're using now). I use 15" lbs with a 1/4 drive torque wrench and believe me that it's easy to over tighten the ring screws with the supplied key.

Don't use Loctite it's unnecessary.
