Thanks for the reply.

I have a tool I borrowed called a FAT Wrench. It's basically a screwdriver that can be set to inch pounds. The guy I borrowed it from said he torques all of his scope rings to 20 inch pounds. As with most things, I always look for a second opinion. I'm a "measure twice, cut once" kind of guy.

It's a Simmons scope. I'll check with them.
