How tight Vortex Precision/Seekins rings?

[tacticalpanda]

How many inch pounds do I tighten my 34mm Vortex Precision/seekins rings to the base and the scope rings? My scope manual says check with what the rings say but only came in a box and don't have instruction.

Anyone know?

55 in/lbs.

55" pounds for the base

20" pounds for the rings ----very important

Yeah don't tighten the ring caps to 55 in/lbs. I thought he was only asking for rings to base torque. The ring caps should be 15-20 in/lbs. I use 20 on my rings.

Thanks guy for the info. I had them hand tightened which was more than 20lbs. Just tightened everything down to 20 pounds scope to rings. and 55lbs rings to base. Thanks again for the quick responses.

Side note:

are these standard tightness or will it vary from rings brands/types.

Probably close to standard. I know Vortex would tell you the same figures, all three of my Razors are set as stated. The folks that get carried away with the rings risk damage to the parallax.

Thats why I edited my 20"pounds by putting very important behind it

Yeah prety standard for the ring caps at 15-20 in/lbs but Badgers with the 1/2" side nut are 65 in/lbs rings to the base. Most all are between 45-65in/lbs to the base.
