Talley and Tikka help

[Walnutz]

Just received my Talley one piece rings for the Tikka T3X but I have no idea what the torque value is for the Base screws. It shows the rings at 20inch Lbs but nothing on the base. Anyone have this information? Thanks!!

i think the bases are 30 to 35 inch lbs.

p117 you got an answer but 30-35lbs should help do not forget some blue loctite.

Degrease the receiver surface, scope tube, and every (and I mean EVERY) shred of surface on the rings, screws, and screw holes with rubbing alcohol or brake cleaner. Then use blue loctite on the screws. Everything is coated in a thin film of oil when it leaves the plant--Look at the packaging the rings came in...nine out of ten times it's oily in the pocket where the rings were rattling around in. You will save yourself potential problems down the road by doing this.

Burris base I just installed on T3X was 35 in/lb
