Vortex recommends not exceeding 18 in/lbs of torque, but the rings I am looking at recommend far more... ARC m10 (50-55in/lbs). Aside from the obvious, well then just don’t use those rings asshole.

What am I missing? Why the huge discrepancy? If they are safe to use, which manufacturers recommendation should I follow?
 
ARC's are a unique animal by design of the one screw clamp (vs a "traditional" 4).
You will be fine with the 50 in/lbs they specify in their directions.
