Leupold QRW Ring Torque Specs?

[Slug870]

I just installed a set of Leupold QRW rings and am mounting a scope, but I can't seem to find the torque specs for the ring screws anywhere. Would anybody have this info on hand? Thank you for any help.

I believe Leupold recommends a max torque of 28 inch/lbs. If I find proof on their website, I'll post a link.

Thank you for your reply. I searched the Leupold site and the only thing I found was a generic scope mounting video in which the fellow mounting the scope recommends 18-22 inch pounds. I can only assume that this spec would be "standard" for Leupold rings, however I was curious about a more model specific spec. Perhaps its just my OCD kicking in...

I emailed Leupold with this question in regards to my QRW rings, and they told me 20 inch/pounds.

Well, that's pretty well straight from the horse's mouth I guess 20 inch pounds it is!

Thank you for your reply.
