Hi all! Just got my DNZ one-piece base/rings (thanks, Brian, for nudging me in that wise direction). It has 4 screws per ring. The instructions say the torque force should be set to between 22 and 25 pounds for ALL screws. This seems a bit weird to me. I wonder if I should be using slightly more torque on the screws that attach the base to the firearm (since the screws will go into the steel material of the rifle bore), and should use a bit less torque for the screws that attach the top part of the ring to the bottom (since the rings are aluminum). What do you folks recommend? I hate bugging DNZ, since their instructions are very clear - use the same torque on ALL screws. But, I thought I'd ask experienced folks on this forum before I proceed with installation. Thanks a lot, in advance!
P.S. In case this information helps: I use SWFA 6x42 scope, Savage 111 Trophy/Hunter 30-06 rifle
