Getting ready to clean the scope mounting bolts/screws on my new .308 110. I've read through the Vortex booklets that came in the packaging. No info given, that i saw. Does anyone happen to know the torque specs for the rings?

This should help.... If they're the correct rings.

I remember reading somewhere that Vortex issued a warning about over torquing ring screws. As I recall, 17 in lbs was the max otherwise the erectors will lock up inside the scope. Having personally experienced this, I can attest to the warning. Also try to not have the turret close to the rings.

I removed, cleaned and blue loc-tited each bolt, one at a time. I also popped the action out and the trigger at it's lowest weight. Hoping to test it later this week.

My Vortex rings have the torque listed on them.
