Richie88 Posted December 2, 2020 Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 Evening all Just received some mixed specs from Nightforce and Tier One about torque specs. (See below). I’m unsure what to go with, any ideas those more experienced with this? Nightforce torque specs 25in/lbs ring caps (2.82Nm) 68in/lbs cross bolts (7.69Nm) Tier One Monomount specs 2Nm ring caps 4Nm base screws Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted December 3, 2020 Report Share Posted December 3, 2020 Night force for the caps, Tier One for the mount.~Andrew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodlander Posted December 3, 2020 Report Share Posted December 3, 2020 Which ring mounts do you have? Just follow the manufacturer’s own specs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terryh Posted December 3, 2020 Report Share Posted December 3, 2020 Richie, Why not use the Teri 1 recommended torque values set out in their instructions? https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1646/8501/files/Monomount_Installation_Guide.pdf?8541808180864771190 4Nm for mount, 2Nm for caps?

Popsbengo Posted December 3, 2020 Report Share Posted December 3, 2020 As terryh says above, Tier 1 know their bolt steel composition, plating/coating and thread-form. Torque is an indirect measure of elastic tension in the bolt and that's affected by the parameters I mention. Also follow any instruction given regarding dry or lubricated threads.
