    Scope Torque Screwdriver

    Anyone got one of these to save me shelling out for one? I'd pay for postage both ways.

    Failing that anyone know a cheap source?

    Yup, I have one. Do all rings on my scopes at 15" lbs and never had a problem. You don't really need one if your rings are true and your not ham fisted.😆

    Your local hunting store should have one if its half decent. I can tell you there isn't any in Napier , my Minox got crushed last month by a shop a.

    Nothing is tough about having a 70 lb bow and looking like an uncoordinated praying mantis while trying to draw it back.

    Our torque drivers are pre-set to 1Nm, though I always like to give them an extra tweak with an Allen key.

    Kind of defeats the purpose of the torque driver?
    Moutere and res like this.
    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    I use glue! Go to the electrical wholesalers there is a new range of screw drivers out with a torque attachment, they look good for this type of work. I'm in VCs camp!
