So I just stripped one of the bottom screws (mount to base) of a Spuhr mount while installing it on a new rifle.
I was using a perfectly sized torx bit and a Wheeler fat wrench. 20 in/lbs on the rings went perfect, 45 in/lbs on the bottom screw to attach the mount to the base and it rounded over at what I believe to be around 30-35 in/lbs range. I was able to push hard enough to get a single click on the wrench but when I tried to get a second click on the wrench, it completely rounded over.
Anyone else have this issue? The bolt head felt very soft.
Here is the wording from the manual “
Torque values for ring screws are 15-25 in/lbs (1,9-2,9Nm) and 45 in/lbs – depending on scope manufactures recommendations.
(5 Nm) for the side clamp.”
