Looking for torque specs for a Sportsmatch mount

[Sandaholic]

I have an HW90 coming and I am curious to whether or not the Sortsmatch mount has a specific torque spec? I see that many people have problems with their mounts when they don't bother to torque them down properly and I'd like to avoid that.

Thanks

Not sure why I didn't see this before.

Ring screws (4mm thread diameter)  24 – 30 in/lbs.  Dovetail clamp screws with 4mm thread diameter  30 – 42 in/lbs.  Dovetail clamp screws with 5mm thread diameter  48 – 66 in/lbs.  Due to many variables these figures can only be used as a guide.  Some particularly heavy recoiling rifles may require higher levels of torque to be applied to the dovetail clamp screws but to avoid damaging the fasteners please only use the allen key supplied or a suitable torque wrench.


Does anyone know how much more I may need too tighten the screws? Or just start there and wait and see?

When I want the torque specifications for a specific mount I get them from the manufacturer.  They do vary.
