torque Settings for scope rings and bases

Is there somewhere i can find a list of torque settings for a good range of rings and bases to print and put on the wall as quick reference?

Cheers

Reputable manufacturers normally reference torque values somewhere on their site.
Can't say I've ever come across a list like you're after.
Google has always been quick reference enough for my needs.

@Alonzo is pretty good with this stuff.

I wouldn't recommend him...I saw a ring snap clean in half once[emoji85]

Do them up tight. Job done

Says the man who won't give me my scope back as he stripped a screw head.

I had a scope fitted by a gun smith here in Tauranga, all torqued up "correctly", I could get the ring caps off without buggering every screw! don't know what that does to a scope? I think Ryan has it right and just watch the surfaces coming together evenly.

Lightweight top rings eg alloy 17-20in/lbs. bases 30in/lbs. steel rings/ top 20-25in/lbs bases 30in/lbs. locking rings 65in/lbs

Loctite blue 242 also

Who would've thought that a PM2 tube could be crushed?!

I thought the problem was that they couldn't be and that trg rings are weak, that's why they have three rings for redundancy :ORLY:

What he said!

Warne lists 25in/lb for steel rings and 30in/lb for the bases.

I was advised a few years ago and now I run all my alloy scope rings at 15"lbs since I bought a proper torque driver. Haven't had one slip or loose zero yet.

Yes a torque driver is really the only way to do it. Kiwis have a thing for if it’s tight then just two more turns she’ll be rite haha. Just like doing up car nuts. How many Ugga-duggahs till it’s tight.
