What Torque Settings for Scope rings and bases?

Torque Settings for Rings and Bases

Torque settings are best measured in inch/pounds for rings and bases.

  • Ring top screws should be torqued to 16-18 inch pounds.
  • Side clamping screws on rings should be 23-25 inch pounds.
  • Base screws should be torqued to 25 inch pounds for steel receivers.
  • Alloy receivers generally 15 inch pounds, but it is best to check with manufacturer recommendations.

Torque settings above are general recommendations. Every rifle, ring, and base may have different recommendations from the manufacturer.

Torque settings can vary depending on:

  • Size of screw or bolt
  • Material manufactured from
  • Any lubrication present
