Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Weaver ring question

A small 0-80 in. lb. beam type torque wrench can really be useful here. They are less than $25 on Amazon, Home Depot, etc. I have a Wheeler "clicker" too, but I trust the beam a bit more, not to mention it is easy to torque a group of screws in sequence by 1/4, 1/2, etc to full value. Usually, you want to go from 1/2 full all the way to full. The beam also lets you see how you are approaching full value in a way that a clicker won't allow. Yes, these are likely "off shore junk", but the thing about a beam wrench is it is pretty easy to make an accurate one. Not to mention they are easy to check if you know how, and have an accurate postal scale.

Best,
