After searching AGN I could find not many posts with clear instructions for torque settings; maybe that's the way it is, but if people have specific information related to FX no limit rings please share. In addition to the ring torque values for the 4 mm bolts, what's recommended for the single 5 mm screw that adjusts the pivot angle, and for the pair of 4 mm bolts that clamp onto the 11 mm dove tail rail?
What I have found from web searches is that for rings, scope manufacturers (Leupold 15-17 inch/lbs) and Sightron (15-20 inch/lbs) suggest lower torque values than say a high quality ring manufacturer such as Sports Match (30 inch/lbs for 4 mm bolts). This makes sense if scope manufacturers go lower values to avoid tube damage claims. The general Wheeler recommended value for rings seems to be 20 inch/lbs. For the rail, Sports Match suggest 41 inch/lbs for 4 mm and 66 inch/lbs for 5 mm screws, which seems a lot for a PCP.
Anyone care to share values for FX no limit rings, which seem to be the only choice for scopes with large aperture lenses (Sightron S111 60 mm, and Hawke 10-50 x 60 Sidewinder ED)?
