LaRue Tactical LT 104 scope ring

[Darimian]

Hi there,

Has any one got an idea of the torque to be applied to tighten LaRue Tactical scope rings?

System is as follows:
SIG 551-2 LB 5.56x45 NATO
Schmidt & Bender 1.1-4x20 Short Dot CQB
LaRue Tactical SPR 1.5 scope mount

Thanks
Darimian

Hand tighten and a bit more. Dont forget the little locktite vial.
10-20 inch pounds if you want numbers.

Sounds like a pretty penny, let us know how accurate the sig is once its dialed in.

Oh I can tell you it is already fantastically accurate with the built-in iron sights at 100 m! Position was lying, without bipod, slow shooting.

The barrel is just like a P210 one, that is, whatever you feed the gun with, it "screws" the bullet through the rifling with only marginal differences in grouping and almost equal precision: I have to say though I only used factory ammunition with bullet weight between 62 and 69 gr, FMJ, HP and/or boat tail type.

The S&B scope should add more precision and consistency as well as tighter groups, I guess.

FYI just took a picture of my very first target when I was sighting in the carbine :-)
These were 4 times 5 shots, with a flyer just below the "1" in the date.
So I guess the photo is self explanatory, I first shot too much left and down, then too much right and still down, and I came back to center and up. I have to confess the bullseye shot was not the 20th shot ;-) I am not that good - yet - Ha, ha, ha...:-D

A few Sig owners and Collectors might not mind seeing that, as would myself.

Thanks

By the way...
eMailed LaRue and got the following reply:
Quote:
We recommend 35-40 Inch/Pounds of torque on the ring screws of our SPR mounts. Yes, the bottom screws need to be tightened completely before the top screws are tightened.
