This video from Brownells features Steve and Caleb providing essential tips on mounting rifle scopes with a focus on proper torque application. They highlight common issues, especially with aluminum receivers like on the Ruger 10/22, warning against exceeding 15 inch-pounds to prevent thread damage. The discussion also covers the pitfalls of using permanent Loctite on scope ring screws and recommends using a torque wrench for precision. They recommend degreasing over Loctite for ring screws and advise viewers to consult product instructions for specific torque values for common screw sizes (6-48, 8-40). The importance of using quality components and noting that gaps between ring halves are normal is also emphasized.
