The reason I ask is a friend of mine had a guy we know come to him to install his second new scope because he didn't want to wrech another one. When asked what he did with the first one he said he overtightened it and wrecked it. So I put a new scope on one of my Contenders and go the range and my scope comes loose. I guess I was scared to overtighten it. LOL Anyways just wondering if you guys used a torque wrench or just winged it so to speak. Mike By the way, thanks for all the replys. I've alo posted this on Specialty Pistols Last edited by ssphunter; 03/19/2011 10:18 PM. Enjoy your family and friends today as they may not be here tomorow.
