Rifle Scopes ZCO/M-brace question

[crackerbacks]

So I just received my first truly nice scope, a ZCO and I’m afraid to mount it…. I purchased a ARC M-brace (I like the lower height than the Spuhr) and the torque specs are freaking me out. ZCO clearly says 20 inch pounds but ARC says 55 inch pounds because it only has 1 larger screw per ring. I’m sure it’s correct but that is a lot more torque, some one please tell me it will be ok!

I’ve been told it’s good to go but in all honesty if you’re concerned call ZCO. they will show you the way.

55 in/lbs - you and your ZCO will be fine. The single bolt needs it, it's called science.

The way I understand it…you can have 4 bolts torqued to 20 inch pounds that gets you 80 inch pounds of force. Or 1 bolt torqued to 50 inch pounds and hold it just the same

Good to go. Just mounted mbrace rings at 55 inch pounds. The directions actually discuss this. This is not a new subject.

You are perfectly fine

You will be fine. But what do you mean you like the lower height of the ARC? The Spuhr option is lower (1.18") than the lowest Mbrace (1.26"). I prefer the Mbraces now too, just curious what that meant.

1.18 was too low and 1.5 was too high, 1.26 was just right lol

Thanks guys, just a chicken with a $4k scope

Ahh gotcha. You had just said lower than the Spuhr and I was confused.

Same set up, absolutely no issues

I was in the same boat last week...double and triple checked the specs before I mounted my NF at 55inlbs......but all is good! Really pleased with the mount as well!!
