[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Torque value for scope mounting screws

Posted: 5/6/2011 5:47:20 PM EDT

I have a Burris PEPR scope mount and can't find the proper torque vales for the Torx screws that secure the scope clamps. Any help? Thanks!

Torx screws are in the rings, which you refer to as scope clamps, correct?

Spec is probably 15 inch pounds.

Yes, that is correct. 15 inch/lbs. is what I was guessing, too. Thanks.

Remember to "sneak up" on the final torque value. Torque all screws to 10 in/lbs, twice, then to 15 in/lbs, twice. Don't forget the blue threadlocker.

Yep, you've got to stretch those little springs properly!

Is there a torque value chart out there somewhere that can be used as a reference? I'm so used to working on engines where everything is listed.

Aluminum rings and base is 10 lbs. No need t to risk stripping anything.

Steel rings and base is 15/20 lbs.
