Is there a suggested torque for the mount bolt (the one that holds the sight to the rail)?  My sight keeps coming loose after I shoot.  Would you suggest some non permanant loc-tite as well?  Since we are here how about a torque for the screws that secure the sight into the mount?  Thanks for the info.

Yes, we suggest 75inch-lbs (NOT foot-lbs) for the cross bolt and 22inch-lbs for the ring screws.

Using blue loc-tite is also a good idea.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you need anything else.

Are you sure about the 75 inch-pounds for the mounting cross bolt?
That seem kind of tight .
Thanks

Yes 75in-lbs is tight. You would probably be fine with as low as 50in-lbs.
