EGW Official Scope Mount & Ring Torque Specifications

Using the correct torque is the most critical step in mounting an optic. Too little, and your setup will shift under recoil; too much, and you risk stripping threads or permanently damaging your scope tube. Follow these specifications for all EGW products.

Critical Torque Guidelines

• Always use a torque wrench: Never guess by "feel." We recommend a high-quality inch-pound torque wrench to ensure accuracy.
• Use Threadlocker sparingly: We recommend blue Loctite (242) for base screws. Never use red Loctite (271) on scope mounts unless you want them to be permanent.
• Check your optic manufacturer: While our rings are designed for 15-18 in-lbs, always verify the torque limits of your scope manufacturer. Some lightweight, thin-walled scope tubes may require lower torque settings.
