Horse1, I am upgrading all of the scope ring and scope based screws on my rifles to Torx Head and was just seeing if there is a consensus on top a maker. Seems as if there is not much focus on fastener quality which leads me to believe it is not so much an issue otherwise there would be a ton of squawkers like on the Talley Ring thread.
Almost all current manufactured scope rings and bases come with Torx screws. If you have bases and rings that are old enough to have slotted or allen head screws - chances are the manufactures of those bases and rings have upgraded to Torx fasteners.
I would wager that if you called the manufactuer that they would send you the upgaded Torx screws of the proper length at no charge.
