Looking for a torque wrench for scope mounting, etc to get a much more accurate reading on how tight I'm setting screws than, "I think that's good".
NEIKO 10574A 1/4” Drive Torque Wrench Screwdriver Set | 30 Pieces. On Amazon seems ok for $45.
Thoughts?

I have one of these, and it has worked fine for scope mounting:

I have a Snap-On in/lbs and a Aircraft screwdriver type but can't remember the name as well as a Fat Wrench. All work well but my Fat Wrench is a little harder to read exactly what it is set at.

I’ve used a Fat Wrench for a number of years. Works fine.

Snap-On impact - just 2 or 3 ugga duggas

Anything more and you might mar the slot. smile

I have the cheaper version of this set. Up to 65 inch pounds. It's simple but seems to work well.

Most people cannot calculate what torque to use.

I've had good luck with this one.

True statement.
I use a Fat Wrench digital. Work great for what I need.

I have that set too. It appears to be exactly the same as my Vortex set. Both are legions better than a fat wrench.
I have a dial gauge one for low torque (<20 inch/lbs) i have a Proto for the stock screws and such.
The Capri or Vortex will do 95% of what you ever need on guns
